WEModel USA what can I say, this organization is exceptional! Not only does it help young women realize their dreams they also have a strong voice in bringing awareness to and helping eradicate human sex trafficking which is prominent in the beauty industry! In addition, Once a year young women from all over the world have an opportunity to travel to Italy and other exotic locations to compete in a fashion competition. WEModel does that! It’s not about the win it’s most often about whose in the room. The connections, memories, and experiences these young make during the week and half in Italy will last a life time! Are you an aspiring model? You’ve never traveled outside the US? You have big dreams, then land them here at WEModel USA, an experience of a life time, I’m speaking from experience! In box, message, register it will change your life!!

WeModel is the ultimate spot for undiscovered models looking to make a name for themselves without longstanding ties to corporate affiliates. What do I mean? Models are able to participate in a once in a lifetime competition that showcases their looks, their personality, and their abilities. At WeModel it’s about the face, the passion AND the BAWDY! When I first heard of WeModel, I thought that this was going to be just another talent agency looking to dupe young girls out of $99 in exchange for the promise of a portfolio and opportunity. Instead, what I discovered was a family-like organization that focused on building talent by presenting an avenue for the girls to #1 – make money #2 – network #3 – show off their best assets. WeModel employs challenges to extract the competitive edge that each girl harbors within them, and then those girls who put forth the effort are rewarded in the TRIP OF A LIFETIME. Let me tell you! These international model competitions ARE NOT TO BE TOYED WITH! You put these Americanas against any country, and automatically, the girls show up and show out. Worst case scenario, you travel to another country FOR FREE to showcase your talent in live modeling runway exhibits… Best case, you come home, pockets lined and cell phone blazing! I am so fortunate to have participated in a previous WeModel campaign. I forged lifelong relationships, and now I can honestly testify to others that dream opportunities really do exist!

What a great opportunity for not just myself as a photographer; but for so many young models!!! Last years competition in Sicily, IT gave me and others an opportunity to be part of cause much bigger than us all. Yes we had the opportunity to travel to Italy, enjoy the amazing food, see the beautiful countryside, and complete in the competition; but more importantly it allowed us to join WeModel USA in championing their cause bringing attention to “Human Trafficking”. I was truly honor to me that I was able represent WeModel USA as a photography. I thank Patricia Watts and her staff for doing an amazing job to make all of this possible. I look forward to supporting WeModel again in the future in anyway I can. Many thanks!!! 🙂 Carlton of “Carlton Hart Photography”

This is an amazing organization, not only because of the opportunities it affords models to further propel their careers, but also because of the manner in which it conducts itself. With a focus on leading with hearts of service, WeModel USA understands that when one person gives, two people receive. Patricia and her team are wholly dedicated to each aspiring model in terms of assisting them with advancing in their professional ambitions. Most important, however, are the issues WeModel USA simultaneously strives to bring to the forefront, most notably the one of human trafficking. While it is impossible for just one person to eradicate the problem, Patricia and all who align with her mission and purpose are making great strides in the combat against this horrific form of modern day slavery. This truly is a team effort with a focus on making a positive difference in the world. In short, the WeModel USA participants are true role models for what it means to be a person who lives from the heart by sharing of their talents, time, and resources in whatever ways possible to make this world a better place.

I loved participating in the We Model USA competition. As the only disableD contestant, in 2019, it really help me to build confidence and feel comfortable in my own skin. Plus I love that it’s modeling with a message and I got to campaign for something I truly believe in.

Models, Photographers, Judges, The Media, our ticket holders and VIP are treated with professionalism, grace and resilience. WeModel has added great benefits to becoming a model. As a representative you can bring the vision to life! “Models against human and sex trafficking”..It can truly be an amazing opportunity to do what you love, meet really great people – whether they are photographers, designers or fellow models – and explore cities all over the globe. Your Next!

I was selected to go to Italy in 2019 with 8 other models based in the US. The experience is unmatched for me. The trip had all expenses paid and as a model, I got the full high fashion model experience- lights, wardrobe changes, cameras, and adrenaline. I won’t ever forget the experience! It’s worth a shot if you are serious about your modeling career and willing to give your all! The cause WEModel supports makes the experience even more worthwhile… I highly recommend WEModel.

I have been associated with WEModel USA for the past five years as a Photographer and as a Creative Advisor. I have fully supported its goals and missions from “Fight against Human Trafficking” to ” Women Empowerment”. It gives excellent platforms to young and talented girls who want to enter the fashion and modeling industry. I had the chance to escort the WEModel team to Italy in 2016 for a Fashion Competition and it was an amazing experience. I wish my dear friend, Patricia Watts, all the success and hope she and her team continue the good work they have been doing.

As a Fashion Designer, I have had the opportunity to work with many organizations and causes that I believe in. WEModel USA is one of the organizations that I was glad to be a part of in 2018. It was a great experience, very informative and overall it was a great environment and empowering place for the models. It was indeed an amazing experience to work with them.

Working with Mrs. Patricia and WEModel was an experience of a lifetime. It’s not all about beauty and fashion but of a greater cause. Yes, the travel experience was awesome along with wonderful food and beautiful scenery but the feeling of working on an issue that is plaguing us globally and widespread was special that is HumHuman Trafficking. I look forward to working with WEModel again to further their fight against Human Trafficking.
