Hey, I'm Lashuna! (La-shawn-na)

I'm from Houston, Texas (the same city as Beyonce & Megan the Stallion) Look both of these talented artists up on Youtube if you don't know who they are yet. I studied in a small town about an hour away in Huntsville where I successfully gained my Bachelors in Fashion Merchandising! During my last two years of college I traveled to LA to attend make up school, which was an overall amazing experience. Shortly after graduating, I started my indefinite travel journey in 2015 as a Professional Makeup Artist traveling through different countries seeking creatives in the fashion industry to produce fabulous quality images for my portfolio. Ultimately, I met a lot of new people and had some amazing #setlife experiences, but as money ran out I found myself teaching english in various countries to further my dreams and maintain my travel journey. Honestly, depression set in heavy at that time as I spent less time doing what I truly came to travel for. Fast Forward to 2020, I'm happy to say I've overcome my depression, changed my name as a symbol of my transformation and am still building my portfolio but instead as a professional model. Yes honey I decided to stop hiding behind the scenes and instead step fully into my light and allow my beauty to shine.

Fun facts: I'm a ball of good energy, often goofy always smiling or laughing and getting wrapped up in creative projects for hours on end is my favorite. I love poetry and visiting museums with a happy brownie!

If we're in the same country definitely hit me up! I'm always open to try new things with new people. If you're a photographer (professional or aspiring) let me know, I have a lot of shoot ideas in my moodboard so let's create!

Excited to meet you,

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The cliff jump I did in Jamaica was amazing but with 2020 coming to a close I'm most proud of how I prioritized my wellbeing and made space for myself to face my shadow and ultimately the way I successfully released old thought patterns, limiting beliefs, and self imposed restrictions.
