BOBBI JO KITCHEN BIO:



An extraordinary beauty, Bobbi Jo exploded onto the modeling scene as
a lead in the Young Buck music video for the single “I know U Want
Me,” featuring Jazze Pha. As a model/actress, she has since been
recognized by artists and casting directors as a woman who definitely
stands out above the rest. Since appearing in the video, it has been a
non-stop grind for this charismatic, blue-eyed beauty, who has since
been spotlighted in magazines such as XXL Magazine, Source Magazine,
and Black Men Magazine, modeling Gucci and Saks Fifth Avenue with Trey
Songz. Known as the 2008 face for Coogi Clothing’s Women’s Line
re-launch, Bobbi has also been in music videos for Wyclef, Lloyd
Banks, Ray J, and Prodigy of Mob Deep. She’s received especially
large notoriety for her role as 50 Cent’s Baby Mother in his video
“I Get Money,” and her role as a Matrix Fighter in his “Ok,
You’re Right” video.



Raised in Brooklyn, New York by a single mother, Bobbi had to grow up
quickly and learn how to take care of herself at an early age.
Spending 10 years of her youth in foster care, she moved around a lot
during her younger years. It is particularly because of her rough
upbringing that she strives to succeed in whatever she does. At the
same time, she refuses to compromise her integrity and her standards.
With a Bachelors Degree in Media and Communication and an English
minor from SUNY Old Westbury College in Long Island, NY, Bobbi Jo
definitely believes that education is just as important as being
noticed in the entertainment industry. She does not consider modeling
as a last resort.



In an industry where many models are willing to do whatever it takes
to get ahead, Bobbi Jo insists that one must be selective in choosing
modeling jobs. There have been several instances where she has been
offered a project, but has chosen to politely decline because the
material wasn’t complimentary to her image. “It is important to
see the bigger picture,” she states.



When all is said and done, Bobbi Jo’s main objective, in addition to
advancing her budding acting career, is to obtain major make-up line,
hair product, and clothing line campaigns. Under her belt she
currently has a lead role as “Denise” in the Spike Lee directed
10th Anniversary Rocawear commercial, along with a lead role in The
JBS Prive “Urban Beauty Hair” commercial. JBS (Jinny Beauty
Supply) is a multi-million dollar company and leader in the ethnic
beauty industry, with distribution centers in Chicago, Atlanta, Miami
and Dallas. The commercial aired on a variety of major television
networks, including ABC, NBC, FOX, CW, and Comcast affiliates ranging
from BET, MTV, VH-1, BRAVO and Entertainment Television, to name a
few.



You may have seen Bobbi Jo as Rip the Runway’s First Professional
Winner of BET's Model Mission Show, or caught her feature in
“Notorious” in the director’s cut. She also played feature role
in “The Perfect Age of Rock and Roll” with Taryn Manning and Kevin
Zegers.



Bobbi’s compassion is what stands out most about her. She hopes to
one day play a major role in changing the lives of foster care
children by investing time in her community, and being a positive
female role model for younger girls who have similar goals.



Be on the lookout for Bobbi Jo's Feature in “Sex in the City 2”,
“Wall Street 2”, and as the face of OutrĂ© Hair Line’s 2010 hair
packaging campaign.



Most recently Bobbi J is in Seagram's Gin 2011 Calendar as Miss June.
She is the Face of Outre Hair Line 2011 National Calendar and also
featured in the calendar for the month of September. Currently Bobbi
Jo is modeling for KISS Cosmetics “Ruby Kisses”, having a Back
Cover ad in Upscale Magazine for the Line. She debuted her comedic
acting in a Parody for Eminem and Rihanna's "Love the Way you lie”
video while working with The Key of Awesome which received over 40
Million views on Youtube.com. Continuously Bobbi Jo models and acts
with Major clients ranging from make-up, hair, clothing, TV,
commercial and movies. She currently has a credited featured in the
Movie "The Perfect Age of Rock n Roll" on theaters and currently on
Video on Demand. Most recently Bobbi Jo landed a principal role in a

Guild. She is consistently booking commercial and movie appearances

Tell us at model savings a little bit about yourself?


Its a long list , I modeled for 10 years, I'm SAG -AFTRA, MTV MADE
COACH , 10 commercials, 25 music videos, over 100 photo shoots under
my belt.
BA in Media&Communications, Movies, Parody's etc. Im tired of telling
my story its Boring to me. lol. I am the CEO/Founder of

www.Academy4Models.com, a Casting and Coaching Agency created in 2013.



What is your inspiration?
My Mother Georgette is my inspiration. Even though I spent 15 years go
my childhood in Foster Care she instilled a relentless work ethic in
me. My mother is my motivation, I want to let he know that she did not
fail and I am proof of it.




The road to success has it been hard, what are some of the struggles
you had to go through as a model?



I don't feel like my road to success is complete, so I'm sure harder
things are to come. At times it had been challenging but every bit of
it was all worth it.
My struggles of abuse and mistreatment while in care were far more
challenging growing up. I started modeling while in college. Spike Lee
hired me as a production assistant and eventually put me in front of
the Camera making me SAG before SAG-AFTRA. 50 Cent also listened to my
story and treated me as a sister , making me a model for G-Unit Womens
clothing line and placing me in videos. If you check out the Yung Buck
"I know you want me" video you will see 50 cent and Yung Buck pick me
up in the air. That was my 1st video, 50 knew I was nervous and he
believed in me so he literally came up to me and Lifted me into the
air like I was a Queen. I will never forget that day.



What advice would you give to a model that is new to the industry?



Contrary to popular belief, women do not have to compromise their
integrity in order to be successful in the entertainment industry.
In the worst cases, just say "No, thanks". I would refuse an
opportunity if the client or nature of the job wasn't fit to my
standards.
I may have had to wait longer to get to the next level in my career
but eventually I got exactly what I wanted.
At the end of the day ,"You are well worth the wait".



I had NEVER Slept with anyone to get ahead in my CAREER! If Anyone
were to ask any member of G-Unit Records, Spike Lee, along with ALL of
the clients I worked with they will cosign the truth. So when people
TRY to say this , it is unfortunate because they will never be
anywhere near anyone of the Major Moguls I am respected by.  People
don't realize that the Big Wigs in the industry can be in
relationships with almost any beautiful woman, or man that hey desire
so, chasing after one simple model/actress isn't something they waste
their time on.



I would also tell new models to respect the craft. Watch and learn
before you ACT or CALL yourself a professional Model/Actress.
Your card will get pulled by a veteran. Professionals won't take you
seriously, and we take it as disrespect because you are wasting our
precious time.



What are some of the projects you worked on and are currently working on?
I have a TV Show Pilot with M2Media I am currently shooting. I am the
Main Actress in R Kelly's "Cookie" music video. (only speaking role) .
I was the MTV Made Coach of Season 12  Ben McLarry Episode. My resume
covers every genre except high fashion/runway.
Other then that I am casting and booking beautiful models everyday.
Getting them booked the jobs they deserve. Negotiating is my thrive.
(I previously sent my resume and links for you convenience , feel free
to add more credits.)




What inspired you to create your own agency?



I simply got bored of modeling. I knew I was very good at managing ,
since I managed my own career. Everyone would ask me when I would
start my own agency. I thought they were crazy, I also thought
everyone was crazy when they told me I should model. Go Figure! lol
My mentors, saw something in me that was undeniable. I started to
listen to their advise since they were the same people who gave me
previous opportunities. I just waited until I felt qualified for the
job. I realized I was ready to establish a LLC at the age of 27, so i
did.




Since model savings is a blog about modeling and saving money, please
tell us about a time that you had to save your money?



You must ALWAYS save your money if you are modeling, acting, or
whatever you do in life. Particularly in the entertainment industry ,
you never know when you will book your next job. The industry changes
everyday. You must also keep in mind that you can get hurt and be out
of work as well. I was never a really big spender so I always had
money on the side stashed. I did get stressed out when I moved into my
1st, 1 bedroom apartment in Williamsburg. I was paying $2,000 a month
at the age of 23yrs old. Boy was saving, it was a MUST at that point!

Saving Money With Jessi From The Budget MAMA
by Unknown on

Everyone knows me for me wanting to save money. However Recently, I found myself 
reaching a moment of being stuck and not exactly know what to do. 
Blocked and feeling like I was having bad luck after bad luck. 
But than I was scrolling through Pinterest  and I 
found a picture that led me to TheBudgetMama.com
with in doing so, I read her E Book that she write with other bloggers. 
I decided that I would reach out to Jessi and the others and feature them on my blog. 
See where and how they save their money. 
Maybe this can save me and my sanity because currently I have none.
So introducing Jessi :) 
of TheBudgetMama.com.
 

What is your inspiration?

My inspiration for saving money comes from struggling to manage my money early on in my adult life. I was raised in an extremely frugal household, but I rebelled against those teachings when I was let out into the "real world" and ended up almost bankrupt at 21 years old. I've seen what the darkness of financial hell looks like and I never want to go back. I got my t-shirt. 

What is the hardest part of saving money?
Delaying gratification. It is so hard to tell myself "no" when I truly want or believe "need" something. I can always make up some justification for a purchase but if it does match with my budget, I have to tell myself "no". My family depends on me being an adult and being able to resist the temptation of impulse shopping. 

Is it possible to get out of debt for someone who feels like it's not possible?

Yes. I remember what it felt like to have that burden on my back, and I still have it. We are not 100% debt-free yet, but we have paid off over $40,000 so far and with every little bit it gets easier to breathe, even with the burden still on our backs. When you feel like you're lost in the never ending cycle of debt, reach for hope. Make a debt payoff plan by first making a budget. I credit the first budget I ever made on my own as saving my life because it forced me to take real ownership of the mess I had made. I worked two jobs, sold off as much stuff as I could, and even gave up my tax refund checks to make a dent in my debt. It is possible to get out of debt, no matter how deep in the hole you may feel, don't ever give up. 

When and how did you start your blog?

I started The Budget Mama in July of 2012. 

Is there any advice you can give to new bloggers out there?

Blogging is not for the faint of heart and if you're only in it to make money, you will just end up burned out. Make sure you are passionate about whatever it is that you are writing about. I once heard that if you can't write at least 500 words on a subject/topic then you shouldn't be writing on it. I truly believe that. You have to have passion to be a blogger. 

What advice would you give to people who are new to the idea of saving money? 

"A bargain isn't a bargain if you don't need it." For most, when they get excited about saving money for the first time, they start couponing like crazy and chasing sales, which is truly great for saving money, but if you don't need it, you are still wasting money. When starting out with saving money, look at your budget and determine where you can cut - do you still have a gym membership you never use, or do you have 500 channels but only watch 2, or do spend way too much at Starbucks? You can cut those expenses and save money quickly. Over time, once you get used to saving money, you will spot ways to save easily. 

What are some of the ways you save money?

We don't have cable and haven't had it in 8 years. It is amazing what not watching commercials will do for you - it will save you tons! I also avoid stores that I know I spend a ton of money in, like Target who even has a Starbucks inside just calling my name! I also quit following deal sites because I was so tempted to purchase things simply because they were a great deal.
