We had the good fortune of connecting with Ziannah & Khaloni Dennis and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ziannah & Khaloni, how do you think about risk?
Ziannah & Khaloni Dennis started In the modeling & Acting industry pretty much by posting on Instagram. Gee George mother of The Dennis Sisters says: After taking so many pictures of ziannah she started to fluid my personal Instagram with pictures of her. So I made her own account I never knew at the time that kid Instagram accounts where such a big thing. Nor did I recognize that it would open so many doors for myself and my children. In 2015 my daughter (Ziannah Dennis) was 5 months old and went simi viral on social media once this happened I received a DM for ziannah to come participate as a extra in a TV commercial. I personally didn’t think this was or could possibly be real but I took a risk and leap of faith & took my daughter to this casting call. Which was indeed a real tv commercial gig.
From there both of my children ended up in the modeling industry.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Ziannah and khaloni Dennis are social media influencers , actresses and commercial print models. Ziannah started modeling and acting at the very early age of 5 months
Khaloni Dennis followed in her older sisters foot steps and started acting and modeling at the age of 1years old.
Ziannah and khaloni are most known from Instagram as The Dennis Sister’s (@The_DennisSisters) where they showcase their everyday life, accomplishments as models and actresses, show behind the sence footage of gigs and most importantly influence for brands and companies.

I personally think everyone thinks being a social media influencer & model is easy when in reality it is highly underestimated.
Everyone is trying to be in influencer work so hard that it makes it harder for even people who are already in the field. Social media has changed the worlds image of a model which is a positive and negative thing.
Having my kids in this industry I have noticed that it takes alot for SOME PEOPLE to take you seriously. I also know that if your heart isn’t in this its definitely not something you should jump into you have to be very consistent. Responsive to messages, reliable, and dependable.

Alot of these same qualities are in the modeling industry that are in the influencer industry. Which is how the two come together very easy for my children.
I’m very greatful for social for opening doors for Ziannah & khaloni that I don’t Believe would have been possible without sites like Instagram & YouTube.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
As a mother with friends with kids. There are so many fun and exciting places for children to have family fun in Atlanta coming to Atlanta from Macon Ga. Which is very limited on children’s fun I love it for my children here we have road on helicopters at Atlanta helicopter which is officially one of my children’s favorite things to do. My daughters love Abs studios to go record music & voice over work the staff are extremely friendly & producer’s helped in everyday possible. And of course we love main events, urban air , Cascade skating etc. Atlanta has much to offer

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Ziannah & khaloni success is most brought on by their mother Gee George, who is their manager as well. She is a marketing agent who continues to book gigs for her daughters to remain in the industry. She has landed the girls on multiple billboards, in store ads , magazines, product boxs & more.

Their mother also feels as if Ziannah and Khaloni are HER BIGGEST BLESSINGS & she feels her success is because of her daughters as well. She is now not only a manager of her own children but 6 others as well that she has also helped book TV commercials, Magazines, and other major gigs. She would never unlocked her potential as a manager or marketer without the love support and motivation from her kids.
