  • Episode 119: Alexis Lejona
    Feb 7 2025

    Today we are with the gangggggggg Alexis!


    Alexis Lejoña, who was born in Brooklyn and raised in the South, has

    dreamed of becoming a model since she was just 10 years old. Growing

    up in a single-parent household, she couldn’t fully pursue her modeling career until she started college in 2012 at Georgia Gwinnett College. During her time in college, she took part in campus fashion shows and eventually became the President of the fashion show committee. After graduating in 2017, she briefly returned to New York to chase her modeling dreams. However, due to the high cost of living, she chose to move back to Atlanta, where she launched her model development business, originally named Whats Your Runway. This venture began in

    October 2017, following her experience at NYFW. The aim was to equip Atlanta models with the skills to market themselves in various markets.

    Her students have since gone on to walk in prestigious events like NYFW, Paris Fashion Week, and DCFW. Currently, Alexis own Model4Models, where she coach models in

    runway, posing, pageant training, personalized career development and recently launched her mother agency. Her vision for the future includes launching a scholarship program aimed at providing resources and opportunities for underrepresented talent in the fashion world. By partnering with various industry leaders and organizations, Alexis is determined to break down barriers and create a more equitable

    environment for all aspiring models. In addition to her professional endeavors, Alexis is an advocate for mental health awareness within the industry. She regularly hosts seminars and panels to address the challenges models face, encouraging open dialogue and offering support systems that prioritize well-being. Her holistic approach

    to modeling not only focuses on physical appearance but also emphasizes the importance of inner strength and resilience. As Alexis reflects on the journey of Model4Models, she is filled with

    gratitude for the community that has grown around her agency. The success stories of her proteges are a testament to her unwavering dedication and the belief that with the right guidance, anyone can achieve their dreams.

    With each new venture, Alexis continues to leave an indelible mark on the industry, paving the way for a more inclusive and supportive future for all.
