Meet Telesee Tootle | Teleseemonae, Fashion Model

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

Hi Telesee, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
Hi , My name is Teleseemonae, I am a wife and a mother of a 3 year old. I just start pursing fashion modeling.

I would say taking risk has played a huge role in my current way of living. From working longer hours to being away from home more than expected. I’m learning that risk taking requires a lot of sacrifices that I know I have to make, in order to achieve my goals. I’m a mother and also a wife, so taking this leap of faith is to pursue a career path that I enjoy while also making a better living for my family. I spend a fair amount of time networking and these events are starting to pay off. I’ve come so far in a short amount of time by putting myself in places where everyone and everything around me, was a different experience.

The funny part about all of this is i’m not sure if I truly “ Risked it all “ ?

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.
I am currently a center supervisor, for a plasma pheresis company. I started this career path back in 2017, as just a phlebotomist. Over the years, i’ve become very successful with this company. I traveled to different states to train, and help other locations become more efficient. Was it easy? No by any many’s it’s been a rollercoaster between adapting to change and trying to achieve new goals within the company. To overcome these challenges, I decided to venture out to purse a modeling career and more. Lessons i’m still learning along the way is that people will, sometimes clap for your success while other will be quick to shout your failures. I would like people to know, that dream’s can seem unobtainable but it’s never to late to turn that into a reality.

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?
Whenever my bestfrann is in town. We always visit one of our favorite restaurants in downtown Atlanta called “ The steamhouse” ( Because we are some seafood lovers ). We have few spots we always grab drinks from it just depends on how we may feel that day. We enjoy being in the house catching up on life , watching our favorite tv shows and more. One of the most important things about my friends / sisterhoods we gone have quality time no matter what!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would start by saying Thank you God for this opportunity without his grace and mercy where will I be . I would love to shoutout my husband( Brandon Stephen ) as he is my #1 supporter who is here day in and day out with me. My mother( Reshema) who is has literally believed in me since the day I was born. To my ALL of my close friends and family each and everyone of you know who you are. Thank you’ll for hearing me and being my biggest cheerleader even in my doubts. I love y’all.
