We had the good fortune of connecting with Nyquan Sennett and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Nyquan, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
My thought processing behind starting to model was. Make a name for yourself. Build your confidence & open your shell and become the best person you want to be in life. I wanted to be the face of many billboards.

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.
What set me apart from others is one my model walk. One thing about me is when I grace the runway or anywhere I come I make sure I stand out. I am a stylish person so everytime I get invited out or have to dress up people be prepared , because they already know I will be shutting the building down. What unique about me is that I love high fashion. I love to dress up in style. Give u a little elegance or fire depending on how I want to step out. I am so proud of myself , because I use to have friends who doubted me , who did not see me as a model to them I was a person who everyone knows and I did not like that. To this day I was grateful that I continued. When I first started model people laughed at me , because I walked fast & had a certain walk. So I got tired and said let me show them who I am. I trained myself and I was booked. The best thing that happen to me was being nominated and won model of the year 2019 my first award. For that day I have been in many magazines Beautiful & Dauntless , Rated Boujie, 180Lyfe, Voyage and etc. I have won 4 awards for male model of the years since 2019 and I have been traveling. I am so grateful that I did not let people who did not support me or saw my vision stop me. I am so happy where I am now. The way I overcome my challenges is by taking the negative things / comments and making people eat the words they say by seeing me prosper. People are going to hate and half support at the end know you are the star of the show & like they say the show must go on. I strive and make my dreams come true no matter what someone had to say. I want the world to know that I am just getting started i have things in the work & I plan to be very known in the future. I want to be the next face model. I am going to go after my dream no matter what steps it take to get there.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If my best friend was visiting we would probably go to montrose or downtown. Downtown has many things to look at like the art gallery , movies , strips to eat or just vibe. I love to adventure so trying out new spots is what I would mostly do with my friends. Go to the arcade , carnival , go to a karaoke night just something fun.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to shoutout Queensmanagementent. This academy has help me and supported my modeling journey since 2018 when I first started. These group of ladies had the same ambition to become extraordinary model and they all had a reason they modeled. I want to thank them for adding me to their team.
