We had the good fortune of connecting with Natheree Lackey and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Natheree, any advice for those thinking about whether to keep going or to give up?
How to know whether to keep going or to give up , hmmm tricky question, but my honest opinion is you never give up you ALWAYS KEEP GOING. I say that because once you give up you cancel out the opportunity to see what can happen down the line which could be the next day or years down the line. Nothing happens over night so as long as you stay consistent & work hard for whatever it is you’re trying to achieve GOD will do the rest. Your plans may not work out how you exactly want them to but it’ll happen how GOD wants them to meaning if you gotta go over some bridges & climb some mountains rather than going straight to the finish line that’s what you’ll have to do but as long as you can see the finish line always KEEP GOING .
Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My name is Natheree Lackey I’m 28 & I’m a freelance model now for 2 years. It’s interesting how my career goes I first started print modeling where I was taking photos & then I begin to do runway modeling. All 2023 I told myself I was going to really take my modeling career serious & did JUST THAT. Now 2024 rolled in & it’s like GOD said I’m going to let your cup overflow with blessings.A couple big brands I’ve got the opportunity to collaborate with are : Boomba, Macys & Pressed. I got my first Times Square billboard feature right after I did NYFW in February which was an exciting & amazing feeling where I got to model for Czt.rocks,PashukBrand, & NYC fashion Boutique.Thannnk you so much Maria & Ava (PashukBrand) for the opportunity again. Another big accomplishment this year was being on LHHATL modeling for pressed Rasheeda’s boutique. I thank GOD for all my opportunities as 2024 has been nothing but a BIG blessing for me. I will say it was not easy but it was worth every sacrifice I took to get to where I’m at.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Well I’m from Atlanta so I would say a fun day with me & a friend would be somewhere adventurous. I love top-golf, Andretti, & then for lunch I don’t have anywhere in specific because there’s so many great places in Atlanta to eat so a place with a nice view & good cocktails and steak. I love Atlanta because its such an entertaining city there’s always something to do.
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would love to shoutout ALLLL of my supporters, without you all I wouldn’t be where I am today. I want to give a personal shoutout to all of these people who gave me a chance: Creattieanndesigns , Sokanarose, Trueselfmagazine, My mentor (Kim M.) , Grandma , Sister (Kendra Lackey) , My best friend Briana Thomas, & any designer who gave me an opportunity to showcase their brand. Thank you from the bottom of my heart !
