Meet Rehanna Washington | Upcoming Runway Model & influencer
We had the good fortune of connecting with Rehanna Washington and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Rehanna, what are you inspired by?
I am inspired by everyone who ever doubted me….people who said I’m just doing this for no real reason, or I wouldn’t be anything. I appreciate them, they push me to work harder every single day. It’s not like I have to prove a point to them, but more to myself. A point that shows I am capable of being something big one day.
Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
My business is me as a person, so with that being said, as long as I’m alive that means that my business isn’t going anywhere. Me being an influencer, it runs deeper than social media. Being in front of the camera 24/7 can drive you crazy, so many people have different types of forms of opinions. I don’t let that get to me. Social media is also the fakest thing ever brought to mankind, it shows real colors in people. People who never ever supported you would want to support you suddenly, and the people who have been supporting you, will be the ones secretly envious of you, so as soon as they see you blow up it’s nothing but hate coming from them. That’s the biggest lesson I’ve learned, and I overcame this by learning that every time you put your trust in mankind, they will let you down. I just keep making my money and doing what I love so I can keep it pushing. If you’re really doing what you love, nothing else will matter. And the people who really support me,I love them.
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
In Houston… I would take them to a car meet. The culture that resides in a bunch of cars riding around in an empty parking lot is crazy. You just gotta be there to experience it and feel the energy. I would also take them to downtown Houston, that’s the heart of it all. It’s so many things to do it’s crazy. The museum district, the aquarium, the food, shops. You really just gotta be there.
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would like to shout out god. In these last few months, I am becoming closer and closer to god, the only person who I know would never let me down, and the person I can thank for being the strong individual I am today, even with all the trials and tribulations.
Other: I would love for everyone to go check out an upcoming business I have. @mon.amour.inc on Instagram. We are representing love to its finest with clothes. Go check it out.
