Welcome my page and thanks in advance for future collaborations :-)

First and foremost I'd like to thank you for sparking your interest and for following me. Before I get into who I am, let me thank my father, George Menoe who passed away April 2013, for giving me the courage and desire to finish what he started. He was a great man. A playwrite, producer, director, film critic, jazz enthusiast, community organizer, and passionate about theater and film. Thank you dad. Gone too soon - leaving a legacy so rich in the Arts yet too humble to a man to tell you what he accomplished. I aim to continue his legacy and make him proud. He passed his torch to me the moment he took his last breath. I'll take it from here, dad. I love you. Always.

Nefertiti: I was named by my father. Named after the Egyptian queen. The name, translated, means "Behold, the beautiful one has come". The amazing power of trust and vision. From the moment they named me, my parents spoke my future into existence. That's my status, and I'm going to try and capture it in my photographs and messages. But, I am much more than a photo. I am a teacher, motivational speaker, a veteran, a manger and an actor. These are all things I've created this page for, hoping I can extend that side of me to the world.

Most of the photos you see on my page are fairly new. I began modeling early last year, summer of 2013 shortly after my dad's passing. My sweetheart Julian Washignton had been encouraging me to model for over a year prior. I had never considered myself "modelesque", until I met my boyfriend. Julian helped me see my own light - realize my artistic capabilities.

When my father passed away, the light switch turned on in my head. I told Julian I was ready to book my 1st professional photoshoot, and voila! They came out great! Not bad, for a 1st timer ;-) I knew instantly that I was meant to do this. It's something I am going to pursue passionately with the little time I have, due to my work schedule. But when opportunities begin to increase, I will quit my day job.

A hosting gig and television is my final step. The area I'd have to say I take the most pride in is my ability to teach. In a perfect world I would love to be the woman you could learn something from on television.

I've got thick, deep and strong African roots. I am Kenyan/South African. I don't take my beauty for granted I have a mind I constantly sharpen that challenges my physical appearance. I know with God, anything is possible. And I have begun to embark on this path which he has layed out for me.

Thank You.

Sincerely,

Nefertiti Menoe

I'll have to credit my Hubby

Julian Washington JQ- Also, of Americas Next Top Model 2014!

If it wasn't for him I would have never snapped a picture of myself and considered beauty modeling.

We make a great team :-) Support each others dreams, goals, and ambitions.

I love you Mr. Washington.

MM#523909, you are way more than another number.
