Nafeesah Terry is a swimwear stunner who created her social media personality and brand FoshPosh. She has worked as a model for major artists such as Megan The Stallion, Future, Busta Rhymes, Anderson Pak, and much more.
She is more than just a video vixen; she has walked the runways of New York Fashion Week and Miami Swim Week.
She was born in New Jersey and raised there. Her road has not been easy because her mother died of lung cancer when she was only 13 years old, leaving her father a widower.
He reared her until she was 21 years old, when he died of cancer. Grief has been a significant part of Nafeesah Terry’s life, but she was able to turn it around when she began stepping into the spotlight of fashion and modelling, illustrating that no circumstance is final.
We sat down to talk to the Instagram star about living life as a top testosterone magnet and how she keeps up with life as a popular model.
How does it feel to be so popular for your beauty?
It’s interesting for sure. But I don’t want to just be known for what I look like. I aspire to give insight to others so that they can live a more positive fulfilling life. I’m really into mental health awareness and advocating for mental and physical health I believe it’s so important to take care of yourself. That way you live a longer healthier life for the people you love.
What downsides would you let other ladies who aspire to be like you know?
Modeling / Entertainment business can be cutthroat. You have to get used to rejection and not landing certain deals. But you have to have grit, determination, and optimism or you’re going to be very disappointed. Get used to being told no, and also get used to a lot of people who will discourage you from following your dream. Keep a positive mindset. If you can do that… you’re well on your way.
How was it like working with Miami Swim Week and also NYFW?
Miami swim was both a dream and a nightmare. It was my first time walking in swim week and I walked for several huge brands. It was a life-changing experience for me, I loved being on the runway.
NYFW was a dream, something I always wanted to do and it’s crazy actually living in a moment I once dreamed to be apart of. So much fun but crazy schedule of running around to be to shows and going to castings, meeting so many people, the parties. Barely anytime for rest.
Do you have brands in Africa you have worked with?
I have not but I would love to and I know I will sometime in the future.
What’s your current relationship status? And How do you deal with guys in your inbox?
I’m open to connecting with a soul that matches mine.
Before you go, What are your top 3 beauty/fitness secrets?
1. Take care of your teeth. One of the first things people will see is your teeth. Brush them, floss, and get braces if you have to. But you only get one set of teeth, so protect them!
2. Take care of your body. Drink water! It’s the easiest thing we forget to do. Limit your intake of sugar and processed foods/Sodas. Work out 4x a week if you can. Exfoliate your skin. Watch what you put into your body.
3. Take care of your mental health. Protect your peace from people who are emotionally draining beware of the company that you keep its crucial to what can happen to you and for you in life. If your mental health is falling apart so will everything else around you.
