THE HUMANITARIAN ISSUE
Epiphany said in her mind she began modeling around 14 years old . She would meet up with a friend and shoot and pose with a Polaroid camera in between classes while in high school . Until she reached about the age of 21 she started to take modeling seriously . Epiphany auditioned for some mainstream modeling agencies but never got signed to any . So then she began modeling for hair shows and local fashions show in the area . This was short-lived and Epiphany found herself joining the military in 2000 . After taking a short career in the Army for three years and dancing for professional dance companies Epiphany became a mother and wife and didn ’ t find her way back to modeling until 2018 .
Because of her always having a love for fashion , she started a fashion blog in 2018 called Efe Gal Style which showcased her own personal style . Not even looking to get back into the modeling industry Epiphany attended a local networking event where she met many creatives , photographers , artists , and models . She was there to connect with new people because she just started her fashion blog , but little did she know she would start her modeling career . While at the event she was approached by a local brand to do a shoot and from there it has been an amazing journey . In addition , she was recently signed this year ( 2020 ) to her first modeling agency called Hannah Noelle Models , LLC , and has also partnered with a few local brands that she supports and loves .
Epiphany has a son who has been diagnosed with Autism ( ASD ) since the age of 5 . While being an advocate for him she still supports his former school that is out of state . In the future , she hopes to start volunteering locally at the Children ’ s Center in Virginia for children with disabilities .
