Host: Natasha Minter
Natasha is the founder and director of modelme, an actress and a model. She started modelme after beginning her career in the creative industry and seeing how starved it was of support and empowerment. Natasha wanted to create a solution for the never-ending problems that she saw and experienced herself personally, in particular as a model, as well as witnessing and hearing from her fellow creatives experience too.
Natasha is incredibly passionate about helping people feel supported - her personal traumatic experience in Milan sparked a desire in her to provide a safe space for creatives to be accepted as they are and empowered to be better.
