In this drama, you’ll fall in love with Mrs. Miller, Math Teacher at Jimbro High School and the Football Coach’s Wife. Mrs. Miller aims to publicly admonish Benjamin Jay, Jimbro High’s Football Star because she alleges he’s committed punishable offences. Mrs. Miller sets out to prove BJ’s “jock” status is working to his advantage, when in reality he’s nothing more than an underachieving thug. Angie is the only parent BJ knows, but unfortunately their strained relationship and her after hour’s life makes her inaccessible during his time of need. Even Coach Ray is too busy straightening out his own affairs to pay attention to BJ slipping into drug abuse, relationship problems and failing grades. www.katwalkplanet.com
Angie is resentful though because her time to date has finally come, but she can’t seem to go on a weekend getaway without having to be interrupted by BJ’s foolishness, as she sees it. Principal Louis Berry will appear in the Grand Cast in the Spring Musical. The musical is an effort to raise money for teachers, initiated by Berry and the Johnson High PTA. Ticket Proceeds will be used to buy school supplies. Learn more at www.makingmary.com/riseangierise 8
April 2011—Kitten On the Walk QuaBresha Moné Walton Bresha is 16 years old and started in the Industry by taking classes with Wihelmina Evolution and attending a convention in Atlanta. Bresha says she is still a beginner Model but, “ I do have the ability to do whatever it is that you want me to do. Not professional yet, but I have the mentality of a professional Model.” “ The ten things I must have in my Model Bag are Make-up, Brush, Comb, Hairspray, Flat Iron, Extra Shoes, Female Products, Headshots, Resume and Toiletries.” In 5 years Bresha wants to be in either New York City or Los Angeles Modeling and Living her dream. The most exciting experience for her in the Modeling Industry has been being on the Television Show, “Charlotte Takes the Runway.” The advice Bresha gives for Models her age of younger is, “Make sure it is really what you want to do and that you put your all into it.”

IMANI MARTIN
One day Imani just knew she wanted to Model. Imani considers herself to be a High Fashion Model. If Imani had to choose between playing sports, hanging out with her friends or modeling she says with no question, “Modeling is it.” The things Imani has in her Model Bag are: water, pictures, heels, make-up, lip gloss, one piece bathing suit, notepad, comb, lotion, mints and a pen to write with.

Imani says her most exciting experience in the Modeling Industry is being the first child model in Katwalk Planet. She also says that if she could give some advice to Models that are around her age the advice would be “It’s a lot of hard work and if you want it you have to work for it”.

THOMAS KENYA STORY
is a Model Chameleon!
She can give you High Fashion, Catalog, Commercial and all kinds of different looks. She is a true Professional. She has done modeling with Celebrities, in Magazines and on top of that she gets paid to do what she loves. Her Modeling career began all of a sudden and she up and moved to Atlanta. She went in search of as much knowledge that would help her nurture her craft. Kenya says, “I feel like Modeling Chose Me!” If given the choice between friends, sports or modeling Kenya says she is not a big fan of sports and her friends know that her career comes first, so she says she most definitely would rather be modeling. When Kenya is booked for a job the company receives a great talent. Kenya says, “I will get or be whatever they ask as long as it’s not tasteless or disrespectful. I’ve studied my craft to make sure I’m strong in every aspect of Modeling.” Kenya is very prepared to see herself all over Television and in Many Magazines. She plans to Model Internationally and own her own Empire and help people through charities. “My most exciting experience as a Model I would definitely have to say was meeting Beyoncés Mom, Tina Knowles, on The Monique Show. And honestly my work in general. I am so grateful for it all!”

COVER
Kenya Thomas
14
Kenya is so happy to have accomplished so much and be where she is in such a short amount of time with all the hard work, sleepless nights and the rough times paying off.
COVER
Kenya defines success as, “Progression and outdoing what I did yesterday. For me success isn’t and ending point. It is more of what I acquire along the journey. I’m successful now– But, I intend on acquiring more success along the way.”
STORY
She wants to make a remarkable difference in the world and be a household name, acquire great wealth, travel and help people. Kenya also wants to release her own furniture line and open a less expensive training facility/ Inspiration Center for people interested in the fine arts.

THOMAS KENYA STORY
Kenya’s style is versatile. She likes wearing sneakers and skinny jeans one day and A-Line Dress another! And you will never catch her with bad energy surrounding her. Kenya’s first love was drawing. When she was about five years old she would draw pictures at family Bar-B-Q’s and sell them for 50 cents… she was already a businesswoman! Her first passion was Modeling. Kenya’s first big purchase was her car. She paid half with her mom. She still has Vinny to this day, Yes...She named it! Ever since Kenya was a little girl her favorite color has been pink. Kenya’s Modeling Mentor is an instructor from one of the classes she has taken. She bonded to her because she was dark-skinned with natural hair the same as Kenya and use to model with Ford. “She inspired me in ways words couldn’t describe. She honestly believed in me and made me feel as though I could honestly MAKE it.”

COVER
Some things Kenya usually packs in her Modeling bag are: Lotion, Shower Cap (To avoid getting make-up on garments), Foundation/ Make-up, Nude Under Garments, Heels/ Flats, Water, Portfolio, Agenda Book, Pen and Money.

THOMAS
“SHOW them your greatness...
KENYA
When asked what were her last words for Katwalk Planet Kenya said, “If I could inspire just one person, then what I’m doing isn’t in vain. With that being said, don’t let your talents go unnoticed. God gave it to you for a reason. Don’t be scared and don’t become discouraged by other people.”
STORY
If Kenya had 1 million dollars right now a few things she would do is take care of her mom, pay off her bills and fix up her place, go shopping for clothes, break off some of her close friends and family and of course save to her bank account.
COVER
Right now Kenya says her favorite food is Sushi and she is loving it. Her favorite candy is Reese’s Buttercups and her favorite fruit is Ruby Red Grapefruits. Kenya says she doesn't really have a favorite place to eat she just likes food. Her favorite place to go is to the gym and she is obsessed with the sauna because it is such a stress reliever.
