Promotional Work
Brand Ambassador | Event Host | Speaker
Marla started her modeling journey in 2019 while finishing her computer science degree and working a survival job in Flatiron. When enough guests at her restaurant asked her "hey do you model?" she decided to look into it.
On her first look into the industry, she booked 3 NYFW runway shows, has been published internationally, and works with global majority owned and/or sustainble brands that align with her views on abolition, Black and indigenous sovreignty, and urgent action.
