SASHIA 'UK's Carribean-Babe' SUMMERS

"I love being in front of the camera!"

BWB - This site is about beauty and brains. We all know you got the beauty, so tell us what you’re doing with your life or ambitions to show us all you have the brains too?
SASHIA - Well firstly thank you for the opportunity to grace your site and show interest in me (smile). My life as it sits now is quite adventurous I must say. I’m 26 yr old mother of two, who is also a qualified hairdresser, a business woman and a model. At present I’m focusing on getting a lot of work within the model industry to become a well known face in and around the UK. With regards to hairdressing (which I now doing part-time), my mum has just opened up a new shop in north London where I do work alongside her when I’m not busy with modelling. I’m looking to start a mini clothing and accessories corner, in the same location.

BWB - How long has being a model been your dreams?
SASHIA - Well to be honest, the moment I hit puberty. [LOL]. I love taking pictures and I’m very photogenic so I always look at my pictures and say to myself, I could to this for a living. I've always wanted to do it since then but never came round to it but nothing happens before its time.

BWB - What do you want to accomplish in this business?
SASHIA - There is so much one can achieve from this industry if I put my mind to it, I want to be a well known face here in the U.K and aboard that’s why I’m more focused on the eye-candy/glamour project to get myself out there in the top magazines, video shoots, promotional work etc. Once that happens I’m sure other work opportunities will follow.

BWB - What do you feel has been your biggest accomplishment to date?
SASHIA - My biggest accomplishment to date will have to be me believing in myself enough to put me out there and had such a good and positive response. I’ve done well so far so I’m really proud of myself as a model.

BWB - How have you balanced you pass relationships and staying focus?
SASHIA - I’ve been in a relationship where my personal life was affecting my professional life because my partner at the time wasn’t very supportive with what I was doing. It’s as simple as this, if you're with someone and their not thoughtful enough to hold stuff down when need be, it’s not worth it in the end, let it go and focus more important aspects. Sometime you have to look out for number 1, because no one else can look out for you but you! Always stay focused on your dreams and they will take you places.

BWB - Honestly, have you found a guy sexy and you just had a one night stand?
SASHIA - No, never. That’s just not me and I know a lot of people say never but it’s as simple as this! :) Women are open by nature and men are closed, so women should be careful who they open up themselves too.

BWB – Have you ever had to deal with sexual or intimate situations with men in this business, if so, how have you managed to overcome them?
SASHIA - To be honest yes i have. As a model, especially a glamour model our job requires us to wear certain attire and some men can’t seem to differentiate between our job and our personal life. What I do does not define who I am so I tend to ignore most of the them, sometimes I do put them in their place but sometimes it’s not worth the effort.

BWB - How can you tell when a guy’s nice cause likes you or he just wants to sleep with you?
SASHIA - Wow. I have to think about that as men can be very cunning. [LOL] I can tell if a guy like me because he tend to show interest in what I have to say and do as well as his willingness to spend a lot of time with me. When a guy wants to sleep with you he doesn’t really want to spend time to get to get to know u and spend time with you. They just want to have their way.

BWB - Have you ever turned down a gig? Why?
SASHIA - Yes i have turned down gigs because in this particular industry its easy to get exploited and i wont do any work that will not benefit myself or my career in a positive way.

BWB - Some women no longer feel sexy after having a child, how do you still manage to make love to the camera?
SASHIA - Well giving birth is one of the most remarkable journeys any woman will have to go through and during this process your body goes through alot of changes. I’ve done it twice, truth be told your body will never be the same again so I embraced the outcome of what those changes were. The camera never lies so when I get in front of it, I just show my confidence. I love being in front of the camera so I guess it just loves me back. Confidence is the key.

BWB - Where can people see more of you?
SASHIA - Everyone can see more of me and what i do at the following sites:-

BWB - What puts a smile on your face?
SASHIA - My 2 beautiful kids even just thinking about them makes me smile, I love them so much, and I believe when you have kids you truly have found love.

BWB - Any final words?
Firstly I would like to take the opportunity to thank all my family and friends for all their love and support, also Beauty With Brains for opportunity to share my views with the world and also my fans as well.
