Bianca: What is Her Plan B?

Fri. Nov 07, 2008 | 6:24 AM

bianca_school.jpgBianca gets real about life after modeling.

My day started off with a visit to my agency. Although modeling is my passion, I'm starting to think I need a plan B. I want to finish school so I have something to fall back on when I can't model anymore. My agency understood, but I'm still confused about everything.

Bianca, I must first tell you to follow your dreams! It is a very intelligent and well thought out decision to have a back up plan. I think you can take some classes along the way. Maybe look into online school. You can slow the pace of the classes with online school. But follow your heart and your dreams. You seem to have grown since ANTM. I think you are beautiful. It took a while but you started embracing the short cut that you had do received because of the damage to your own hair. I think you were able to see your true beauty then. I'm also not sure about some of the media stuff, I don't keep up with lots of gossip but remember we are responsible for our reactions not the original action which led us to act. I didn't learn 'till almost 30 how strong I had to be to walk away. And as Tiffany mentioned before me "be swift about hearing and slow about speaking". You have great poise, and you have an inner strength and beauty which glow when you let it. Follow your dream, plan out your future, get your education as you walk into your destiny. Great things await you - you must first believe it!!!! Be blessed and I can't wait to see you at the top.

Hey Bianca! Glad 2 c ur doing well. Your still young and have ur life ahead of you. I think it is a good idea to have a plan B, the modeling world is real crazy one min ur the it girl and with the same speed everyone will act like they dont know u. So go back to school and finish so u can have that under your belt. Camille is getting ready to graduate soon which im sure u know and she is in the same position as u, so go ahead and do the same. Online schooling is a good thing for you since your a very busy person, i do online schooling and it is great. Think about it some more and i hope u make the best decision for your self. Take CAre!

you can have a modeling career and take online classes. online classes offer times where you can take the class and still do photoshoots and runway shows. i do think modeling is a good career for you and you can still have an education by online classes.

B I think you should finish class but still do modeling. You will only look this way for so long even though Black dont Crack! lol I think it is great because you can do a few classes online to keep your brain sharp, but dont stop modeling because you never know when that million dollar campaign may apprear. I think you are the Essence of a Carol's Daughter girl! God you and the fam! Be easy !

School is always an option. I think you see it's not that easy out in the real world. In the real world you wouldn't be tolerated. Your a hater, you know those girls have greater potential than you. Your jealous that's why you put them down. That's your success. As a teen I work at fast food jobs you have that mantality. So go to school to better youself. Your face is not salable.And your attitude is directed to the wrong people.

I think you should continue to go to school. You definitely have your head in the right place. You will need a backup plan.

Bianca, I think school is not only a great idea, but a must. If your modeling career doesn't go the way you would plan it, go to school now while you're young, take some online classes, and then open your own agency or organization to help other black women and girls fulfill their dreams in the industry. Nothing like a beautiful education black woman. Take care. Donica Houston, TX

R Joseph, who cares if you don't by Carol's Daughter? Bianca, I admire your #1 dream, and you can achieve it. I was the first in my family to graduate from college, and today I'm a RN. Try to find time to do both. I know you live in NY, so some of the C.U.N.Y schools you're able to take classes online. Don't worry about the haters, anytime a beautiful black woman is outspoken, people will always say you're mean. I think you're great, you and Fatima are my favorites. Stay Blessed, Stay Sweet, Stay Strong!

Bianca, I have watched you when you were on Top Model and now on Modelville; and you know what? You can be so insensative and hard; you say what you want the way you feel like saying it and I and by the way all my friends have no respect for that. I had to explain for a full hour to my little sister who was watching why she shouldnt act like that. If you become Carol's Daughter spokesmodel I will not be buying thier products ...ever. I am not a therapist but if you feel right within yourself when you are hurtful and hard to people well then you have a big problem. I am not trying to be mean but I have not seen you show any inclination that you are changing or willing to try for the matter. I would like to really thank Tyra for beliving in you , she is that kind of person ...at least try ...she has faith in alot of lost causes and you can still better yourself.

Bianca, School is such a viable source.....in today economny you need a degree in order to make decent living. Please pursue that dream....online colleges are an option where you can continue to model. All you need is your laptop to go with you.

I must say u are beautiful young lady and its good that u went after your draems in this life time its also good to have something fall back on because you never know most happen later down the line. Keep that in mind and you have great time modeling and hope to see you in person one day. Stay up. Kimberly from Moscow, Tn

Bianca, girl the best advice I can give u is to stay positive and keep your head up high.I know deep inside you, is a person who knows what she wants and goes for it.So that being said,take time out to think about your plan B and your future.BE GRATEFUL Bianca,because believe it or not Tyra cares alot about and your future so sweetheart you are very bless to have her on your side. Misunderstanding is a huge part of life,it's something that we all have experience.So keep focused on your goals and reach them, because i know you can do it.I'm routing for you, because are and can be fierce.Peace.

Bianca, Be encouraged. Even though you have been misunderstood from time to time,you are still a beautiful person. I have been keeping up with your success since Top Model Cycle 9 and you are off to a great start. No one can not deny that you take great pictures! My best advice to you is to be slow to speak and quick to hear. Out of the mouth speaks the intentions of our heart! And i know you have a good heart. All the best!
