Celebrity journalist Michael A. Gonzales explores the life, loves and catwalks of 20-year-old supermodel Sessilee Lopez in the March issue of Latina magazine. Shot by David Roener, the fourteen page spread is Sessilee's first in-depth magazine interview. In the past, Gonzales has interviewed Lauryn Hill (The Source), Halle Berry (Savoy), Jennifer Lopez (Latina) and Erykah Badu (Essence).
Sessilee On Modeling:
"Modeling is such a competitive business," Lopez says. "Some girls get territorial; others get stressed out and start doing drugs to keep the weight off..."
Sessilee On Working with Tyra Banks:
"I was like a sponge when I worked with her," Lopez says. "She told me, 'You have to let the public as well as the fashion world know who you are.'"
Sessilee On being a Dominican model:
"Fashion is very black and white," she says. "It doesn't pay attention to heritage much. They don't see me as a Dominican girl. They just see the color of my skin. It can be hard, because it's your heritage and you want to be appreciated for it, but it's just modeling, so I don't let it get to me.
