Our Vision:

We envision a future where the creative industry is a more diverse, inclusive, and ethical space. By giving our members the tools they need to succeed on their own terms, we can create a more equitable industry that benefits everyone involved. We believe that our platform has the potential to transform the culture and creative industry, while making it a more accessible and empowering space for talents from all backgrounds.

Our Approach:

The traditional creative industry is known for its lack of transparency, unfair practices, and limited opportunities for people who don't fit into traditional beauty standards. We want to change that by creating a platform that puts talents in charge of their own careers. By connecting our members directly with brands, we can eliminate the need for expensive agency fees, create a psychologically safe space, and ensure that our members are paid fairly for their work.

 

Our platform will match members with LGBTQ+ friendly brands based on their preferences, skills, and experience. Members will be able to create professional portfolios and content that showcase their unique talents, personalities, and interests. Brands will have access to a wide range of talent from diverse backgrounds and with a variety of body types, ensuring that they can find the perfect fit for their project.

 

In addition to connecting talents with brands, we are dedicated to supporting our members' creative journey from start to finish. We believe in bringing their projects to life by providing access to a network of industry professionals. From photographers and videographers to sound engineers and beauty professionals, our platform will facilitate collaborations that ensure every project is executed with excellence.

By fostering these connections between talents and industry professionals, we aim to offer comprehensive support that not only promotes creativity but also helps our members achieve their artistic vision in a nurturing and empowering environment.  Together, we can drive positive change, inclusivity, and transparency within the creative industry, making it a place where true talent can thrive and dreams can become a reality.

What our models say...

"Honestly, this program has made me remember how dope i truly am.  Learning so much and being pushed out of my comfort zone has made a huge difference in my life outside of modeling"

Karmen Wilson

"SMP was my first professional photoshoot and happy I made it part of my journey.  Ilearned that it's a lot to learn and work along side the brilliant Teresa and Mr. Jones, I know I will only be introduced to much more.

Britt Ervin

"Very well structured and professional.  Always a good vibe going around and with this being my first time ever doing something like this, I can say this is the one to try if you're a masculine female"
