HER MANY HATS
WHILE WORKING ON A HOT SUMMER DAY, I was looking for a cover model for the Spring 2014 issue. In the magazine world, it’s typical to plan at least six months ahead, if not a year ahead. I usually seek out a talented individual, who is contributing back to their communities, and is inspirational at that. Coincidentally, I was then introduced to Marisa Quinn, one of the Native stars on Breaking Dawn, Part 2 by fellow Native actor Andrew Orozco. As we were visiting, I got a sense of Quinn that many don’t notice; she’s a multi-talented young woman with more than just acting on her resume. An accomplished photographer, model, public speaker, and entrepreneur, I knew I had to put Quinn on the cover. With her refreshing attitude and compassion to help others around her, I knew she would be great on the Spring cover.
