Model Sydney Brett On College Experience And Non-Profit “Stronger Than You Think”

This model is just incredible!

Sydney has quickly gained her fan base following her amazing modeling career so far, including her walks in the iconic New York and Hampton Fashion Weeks. Now, she recently started her very own non-profit entitled ‘Stronger Than You Think’.

We had the amazing honor of talking with Sydney about her dream job, anxiety, and more!

What inspired you to create “Stronger Than You Think”

S: “When I was younger I was bullied both verbally and physically and I knew I wanted to turn a negative experience into a positive one.  I started to think of ways to help others and the idea of Stronger Than You Think was born.”

What has your college experience been like?

S: “My college experience has been great so far-I love what I am studying which is fashion merchandising, and I have met some amazing people.”

How did you get started with modeling?

S: “I have always loved taking pictures and being in front of the camera and modeling seems like it would be fun.  Over the years I decided to take it more seriously.”

How do you continue to grow your platform?

S: “The key to growing my non profit is spreading the word mostly social media and word of mouth.  I am presently trying to get into schools and if this happens those educators can help spread the word!”

What is one message you would like your younger self to know?

S: “Coming from someone who has anxiety I would say worry less, eventually everything will fall into place.”

Do you have any upcoming projects for your non-profit?

S: “I am working on creating a custom curriculum that can be used in schools nationwide, and create chapters to help educate teachers, parents and students.”

What have been the biggest hurdles in creating your non-profit? 

S: “I think one challenge I have faced is getting into schools to speak and run programs while I am still a student. In addition Covid has caused difficulties.”

What should one expect when starting their own modeling career?

S: “While I am not a professional model I thing you need to have patience and thick skin knowing there will be a lot of rejections and the process takes time.”

What are some next steps you are taking career-wise?

S: “As I will be graduating from  college May 2023 I hope to live in New  York City  and work in the fashion industry.”

What is your biggest dream?

S: “To work for a well known fashion magazine such as Elle, Vogue or Cosmopolitan.”
