B&B: Being a Georgia girl in New York – was it hard to get used to the rudeness being that you come from such a hospitable place?
AH:
No, because one – my parents are from here and then I’d come to intern for something out here. I come from D.C. and people there are crazy too.

B&B: In Tommie Collins piece about loving a light-skinned woman – was he right?
AH:
He actually writes for BET.com [laughs]. In my case, yeah – he was right. I want you more if you don’t pay me any attention. I like a guy more if he’s aloof. I’m kind of like a guy. I like a challenge. That makes me want guys more. Maybe that’s something that I shouldn’t say, but that’s with any woman who has there life together. The guys out here are crazy, too [laughs].

B&B: So, likes and dislikes aside – what is one dream that you have that hasn’t been realized, yet?
AH:
Being rich [laughs]! I’m not at all rich. I’m trying to line up everything to where I can make more money. Right now, I’m just focused on networking and putting my name out there. I learned so much in less than a year. I was thrown into this business so fast. I can just say that even though everything is a positive that people should know that you don’t have to be in front of the camera in order to be successful. My personality is more-so behind the scenes. Someone told me that you had to be either/or, but I use modeling as a means to network and talk to people. My major was Television Production, so I was looking for people to help me get a job. While girls were fighting for face time, I was talking to the director or the casting guy. I’ve never been the main girl, I was just interested in getting my money and going home. So, I’ve used that as motivation to become the best in what I want to do for myself.
