SONCERAE MIND OF A MOGUL

First of all thanks for Stopping by Urbancandyshop.com!

Soncerae: I am honored and flattered to even be a part of www.urbancandyshop.com EXCLUSIVES!

UCS: For starters why dont you tell our readers out there
exacly how the name is pronounced.

Soncerae: Soncerae is pronounced exactly how it is spelt. (Sawn-sir-ray) That name sure does set me apart from the rest and yes it is my birth name.

UCS: You take on alot of titles Model,Publisher and Designer just
to name a few how do you balance it all?

Soncerae: I try to give it all equal attention. Some months I have time to be a model & a designer when I’m not working on my publication. I spend all of my time marketing all of my talents even my music career gets a little attention. But, most importantly I love being a motivator & mentor to others. I never try to focus 2 much on balancing it all. I just DO it when it’s time to work on it and sometimes I forget things but everything happens for a reason.

UCS: Tell us all about Blockdymez Magazine and how that idea came about

Soncerae: BlockDymez originally started out as just a website. www.blockdymez.com  The webmaster for the site needed help
promoting the site so I came up with the BlockDymez Social Organization (SORORITY) with chapters all over the United States. I started to think of new ideas to attract aspiring models. Then I realized that I was a model myself and what it was that I wanted so bad for my career. It was to be in SMOOTH MAGAZINE. The politics of the modeling industry was kind of ripping me
apart because of the strained relationships I had with the males of the industry. I had done plenty of publications like Straight Stuntin, Urban Diva, Sweets, Mafia, but none of which that blow my peers and fans away. Since this was a male oriented industry there were few that could accept me having my own mind and being strong willed enough to say NO to indecent proposals. I decided that I’d give models who were going through the same things I was an outlet. All they would have to do is be beautiful, have good pics and the right attitude and I would give them free adspace in my magazine. I love the fellas
so much I knew the fellas would love seeing NEW faces all of the time and not the same girls that are always being used in the urban modeling industry. Then BlockDymez Magazine was born and so was BlockEleven Fashion Magazine and BlockWorkz Indie Artist Magazine

UCS: When it comes to the modeling aspect of the business what do you
enjoy the most?

Soncerae:My fans and supporters. I love them so much. They keep me going on days when I want to quit. I have a lot of faithful people in my corner. I especially love all of my BlockDymez we share stories and try to make every experience we have as socialites worth it.

Ucs: What do you like to do when your not modeling or handling the business aspect of things with the magazine?

Soncerae: When I’m not working which is not often I love MOVIES, I am a cinema junkie. I live @ BlockBuster and I have so many DVDs. Me and my 9 yr old sit and talk about who is the better actor & actress. I love those times I get to spend with my kid. She and I laugh at the same things and she is someone I can have an intellectual conversation with easy. Her mind isn’t of a 9 year old and that makes her one of my favorite kids. So I enjoy spending most of my time with her. I also like to cuddle with a man and talk about everything under the sun. But I’m single so…..

UCS: What’s the best piece  of advice you would give an aspiring model
in todays industry something you wished somebody would have told you?

Soncerae: The best piece of advice I can give aspiring models is to make sure you have a plan. Make sure that you know what’s best for YOU. This is not easy but it pays off. Listening to EVERYONE tell you what YOU need for your career isn’t smart. DO YOU. Slightly immulate but keep your FLAIR. Most importantly remember that YOU ARE YOUR BUSINESS don’t let someone run it for YOU. Love your haters because they are your promotional team…..and please please keep your personal life as far away from your professional life. Be sweet but keep it professional.

Ucs: Looking at some of your pics and all i can say is DAMN! do you ever
feel like that looking at your own pics? lol

Soncerae: When I first started modeling yes….because I had always heard that I wasn’t pretty, that I was fat and too darkskinned. When I first started shooting I couldn’t believe how beautiful I was. I’d stare at pics of myself! Seriously, because I didn’t recognize that woman!  Then I started getting editors and make up artists and stylists and I turned into someone I thought I’d never be. Now I am the beautiful girl on the cover of a magazine and that suprises me. I always thought I was ugly. To me all I had to offer was my intellect & my resourcefulness. Now on top of that I’m beautiful…..OMG!!!!! I
still can’t believe it to this day. The universe gets it’s praise from me…..believe that. lol

Ucs: You refer to yourself as the Ultra Model.. tell us what that title
means to you

Soncerae:The Ultra Model Means a lot to me…. when I started trying to find paid work from  big modeling agencies like The Ford Agency & Wilhemina they wouldn’t take me because I wasn’t big enough or tall enough to do PLUS SIZE MODELING. So then I went to the urban modeling agencies like Carinae Casting & The HD Agency and they wouldn’t take me because I wasn’t thin
enough. I didn’t have  SUPER MODEL status. So instead of getting frustrated I just decided to start my own genre of modeling called ULTRA MODELING. This is for models like me that wear a size 9/10. Ultra modeling is for women that are good at print that are 5 foot 3 and just like me. Sometimes I get taken off focus and want to lose weight but then I realize how far I’ve made it being my size and I will make it further. So I will talk THE ULTRA MODEL further and create a genre for models like me.

.UCS: Sex Symbol, Role model , Or Entrepenuer which one of these best fits you?

Soncerae: OMG…..IDK…. I’m blushing because I’d be suprised if anyone else thought I was any of these!  LMAO! TO ME I am an entrepreneur.  But hopefully to others I am an array of things. I hope that the whole world remembers me as a new age renaissance women.

UCS: Your Definately one of Natural beauty and Curves.. how do you feel aboutthe abundance of models getting Procedures done.. would you ever consider getting any work done?

Soncerae: I always ask my photographers should I get a breast lift or butt implants….they laugh and tell me I look fine. But it seems that the models in this industry who go thru all of that excel. I’d rather keep it simple. I love my body so much. It’s not even that serious. What you see is what you get. The universe did not make mistakes on me. So I’mma roll with what I got. I think these models & society needs to stop obsessing over perfection. It’s all a fantasy babes.

UCS: Urbancandyshop.com Will be doing some exclusive shoots soon can we get you to come back and shoot for us ?

Soncerae: That should be hot! I’d do that as long as I can pick my shooter. I’m all for it. (:

UCS: Where can we look forward to seeing Soncerae in 2010 any big projects coming up?

Soncerae: IDK yet…..I have some thoughts but I gotta keep those to myself I’mma surprise yall and myself.

UCS: Since your not only a model but you work with models on a regular basis.  Care to name a couple of people you think are really hot right now?

Soncerae: Shout out to Selena Silk, Jemiah Jewel, Mya Jane, Nyla B, Montana Deleon, Jessi Apple, Laeann Amos, Taylor Charisse, I can go on and on and on but I’mma stop there lol

UCS: when your on set of a shoot what makes you feel the sexiest?

Soncerae: 112 CD, new outfits and professional make up artist. I know this may sound funny but sometimes I keep BERINGER in my model bag just in case I’m tense. I can have a glass of wine right there on the spot.

UCS: It seems like these days Women get just as much attention from other women as men these days, have you noticed this at all?

Soncerae: Yes….women try to get at me all of the time. I think it’s cute but at the same time men are too emotional to and they are actually soooo emotional that they tend to be good at hiding it. I’d have the same issue with a woman that I have with men. So I’mma stay on the right side of the team. Women are exploring options now and that’s fine but I’d prefer my option to have a penis.
