Today we’d like to introduce you to Hannah Kenerly
Hi Hannah, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I got started in modeling at age 13. I was very involved in the Allstar cheerleading world, so I started posting about my cheerleading experience on Instagram. Soon I started gaining followers and got contacted by a photographer and got my very first modeling gig! Everything sort of just took off from there! Now I’m training in Acting with a wonderful coach and have plans to major in Film when I attend college.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
This journey definitely hasn’t been all smooth sailing for me. I was bullied for most of my school years. Sadly some people do not like to see people doing something different, much less succeeding at something that is perceived to be out of the norm. I was put down and told my success was fake. I was picked on and mocked. It was hard. All of that really took a toll on my mental health. It’s hard to be proud of yourself and have the motivation to keep striving for greatness when people around you are making fun of you for trying to succeed. It was a hard lesson to learn, but I realized that people will either be super supportive and complimentary or they will put you down and try to minimize your success. It took many years for me to realize that those people are unhappy with who they are and that was not my problem.
What does success mean to you?
Success, to me, is living a life that aligns with my values and brings genuine fulfillment. It’s not about wealth or recognition, but about growth, meaningful relationships, and contributing something positive to the world. Success is finding joy in small moments, overcoming challenges with resilience, and continuing to learn and improve every day. It’s deeply personal and ever-evolving, shaped by what truly matters to me and those I care about.
