Rising Stars: Meet Mackenzie Newton of East Orlando

Today we’d like to introduce you to Mackenzie Newton.

Hi Mackenzie, 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?
Of course! I started modeling in 2017. My first show was the Orlando African Fashion show & I just kind of hit the ground running from there. I’ve trained with RIF & Wendell Jean-Pierre & his team. With God leading me, I probably have done between 15-25 fashion shows. Some of those ranging from Orlando International Fashion Week, to The 5th Annual Traveling Fashion Showcase by Bella Faire Event Productions this year.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Yes & no.
Some of the struggles I’ve dealt with were dealing with unprofessional designers & makeup artists. It’s unfortunate but it happens sometimes. All I can do is control how I respond & how I carry myself.

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I’m a freelance runway & print model. I specialize in the European walk & Urban walk. I also sing as well. I’m definitely more known for modeling than music, although it is my first passion & I have a BA in music.
I’m most proud of being a published model & having the opportunity to represent some wonderful designers & companies. What sets me apart from others is no one has a graceful walk like I do. I don’t just walk, I glide.

We all have a different way of looking at and defining success. How do you define success?
I define success as achieving the goals that you set for yourself. No matter what they are nor how long they take, achieving them & being proud of yourself for doing that. I’m big on clapping for yourself & being confident.
