Born and raised in the slums of West Philadelphia, this incredible rapper/model is of African-American, French, Irish, Dutch, and Cherokee heritage, giving her an exotic and stunning appearance that is all her own.
Vanna began rapping during her freshman year in high school. "I was always a good writer and always loved rap and one night I was just sitting around and started writing," she recalls. "I took it to school the next day and let the boys hear it and they loved it. I kept doing it and after a while it turned into a passion."
A year later, after being approached by a photographer who offered to ake some photos of her, she began considering modeling as her second passion. Since then, she has graced the pages of King Magazine, Smooth Magazine, Multiple issues of Swimsit Extra as well as Jet Beauty Calendar and various other publications and CD covers and videos.
Vanna admits that modeling isn't always a smooth ride. "It can be very brutal. I've had shoots where I had to lay on concrete, climb trees...once I had to climb through these huge rocks and broke the heel on my shoe. It can be hard work but it's worth it to get the perfect shot."
On the music side, there is also plenty of hard work involved. After all, it's not easy for a female to make it in the male dominated world of rap. Vanna has already managed to gain esteem among her male counterparts. She is known, not only for her striking beauty, but also for her paramount skills on the mic. "You just gotta let these dudes know that you mean business," she says. "Show them that you can do anything they can do, and even better. That's the only way they'll take you seriously."
Vanna's dedication and desire for success keep her motivated and working.
