Da’livia: Earlier this year I went to North Carolina to shoot with Derrick Clegg. We started shooting at 7am and literally ended around 7pm. We drove all over the place for different scenes. It was amazing and with his personality it even better.

Hennywiz: Has being in the modeling industry affected your personal life?

Da’livia: Yes, it has affected my relationships mainly because of the traveling, no spending time with them and so called not giving them attention. In addition, they were insecure and controlling and didn’t like the whole world seeing my body etc.

Hennywiz: Overall, what has been your opinion of the modeling industry?

Da’livia: Wow!!! There’s a lot I can say but I’ll just say one thing to sum it up, there are a lot of women that have the body for this industry but not the face, attitude, personality and drive for it. Most lay around, be lazy and let their manager do all the work; not me I work hard for what I do best!!!

Hennywiz: Do you host a lot of events, do you travel often?

Da’livia: I travel maybe three times a month depending on assignments and I’ve hosted maybe about 4 events.

Hennywiz: In this forever evolving business, new faces emerge by the minute. What separates

Dalivia from your peers?

Hennywiz: Are you bound for the big screen? Is acting in your plans?

Da’livia: When I first started modeling I was little timid of talking in front of camera but over the past few months I realized the camera is my best friend. It’s no getting out of it so yes I’m ready. Light, camera, action.

Hennywiz: What would be a dream role for you?

Da’livia: A dream role for me is to play a similar part to Sanaa Lathan in “Love in basketball”. That movie is similar to my life now so it would be easy to play that part.
