Why I Almost Quit Modeling to Save Lives in Uganda | Tawna Kelley
From the Shutterspire Podcast:
“Sometimes, finding your true purpose means walking away from the life you know. In this deeply moving episode of the ShutterSpire Industry Podcast, I sit down with my good friend, incredible professional model, and ShutterSpire’s very first cover model, Tawna Kelley (@model_tawna).
Tawna opens up about the emotional struggle of becoming an empty nester and how that darkness pushed her to find a new spark. But what started as a successful modeling career quickly transformed into something much bigger after a life-altering trip to Kampala, Uganda. Deep in the forest, surrounded by children with absolutely nothing but boundless joy, Tawna found her true calling—and it changed her life forever.
Listen in as we discuss why she almost walked away from modeling completely, and how she instead chose to merge her talents with her heart to found Fashion With A Purpose, a non-profit dedicated to lifting the material situations of children in the world's most impoverished locations.”
