Vashti Clarke is a Jamaican Model, Designer and entrepreneur.

It was 12 minutes after 7pm on august 13th 1984 that history was created and a star was born.

Standing at 5feet 8 inches tall with a body mass of 115lb, this curvaceous, astute, leonine is VASHTI CLARKE.

Beaming with potential as bright as the sun sign she was born under, Vashti fails to stop at being ‘GOOD” as for her this would mean limitations and for her such word doesn’t exist.

Born to mother Icylin kilbourne and father Aubrey Clarke, Vashti is the second of two(2) children .Her father was a agriculture farmer and businessman and her mom is a stay at home mom who helped to run the business.

With bold, intent dark brown eyes staring back at you it is very obvious that this woman is always up for a challenge, living daily by her mottos: I can, I will, I must achieve…. I came, I saw, I conquered, and the sky is the limit but it wouldn’t hurt to reach for what is beyond…

Hailing from the lush green, productive parish of St. Mary in Jamaica, this 26 year old is all women.

Growing up Vashti was not a typical kid as she would do things that would amaze her parents and by the age of 5yrs she would be in line for regular scolding for cutting her clothes and tying them in desired styles. She would also try to comb her hair in styles that she was comfortable with.

She would grow to continue to defy her own style, even if it put her in line for a beating….. But this mattered little to her.

Vashti didn’t like playing with her peers and would always find herself at a nearby hair salon owned by a family friend. While there she would perm a little part of her hair and style it how she desired.

At age 11 Vashti passed her entrance exam into high school and decided on her career path very quickly.

She avoided the sciences and paid close attention to beautician courses, history and the arts.

It was decided she wanted to become a criminal lawyer and she work on that path until track and field interrupted her dreams and aspirations.

She made the school team and medaled in the distance events and long jump.

She began spending most of her time training and working on her craft as she was of the realization that she was good at the sport and this was her calling and indeed she wanted to become a professional athlete. Again her dreams would be interrupted as she was injured and had to break from athletics. She became restless and after a while she started to do warm up training with the netball team, surprisingly she made the cut for the team and she juggled tracks along with netball…. A real multi tasker she is. She played netball with so much aggression that she was named one of the best defenders of the season. She represented her school to the full extent and she did well…

She was no air head either; Vashti was as good in her academic work as she was on the field. She was an integral part of the quiz team and did well in her studies. A very dedicated student to her school work, she balanced sports skillfully with her classes.

She managed her time well and always put 100% in all areas.

By the time Vashti was ready to graduate high school she was a jack of all trades and mastered most, which left her in a confused state of mind.

What to do, what to do……..

When Vashti graduated in 2001, she got offers from schools and colleges to further her education and to start courses in law, but she was of little interest as those dreams have long faded. She was out of school and still hasn’t decided on what she wanted to do.

Realizing her parents were having financial issues, Vashti got a job in sales and continued to train for athletics. After the first month of working sales, she got tired and realizes that that wasn’t her calling.

While waiting on a school to call her in to enroll, she stayed home and wrote poems, songs and short stories…she enjoyed this but she wanted so much more, she began to visit local music studios and began taking a keen interest in music and started recording demos. She liked the feeling she got and started to concentrate on her writing skills. Yearning for excitement, limelight, fame, fortune…. She wanted to achieve so much more, fulfill her dreams of becoming an entrepreneur and an entertainer.

Vashti was at the studio hanging and voicing a demo when a producer had her mistaken for a model, she had so much sex appeal and poise that he encouraged her to try out for a modeling competition that was being held in Kingston the following weekend.

She went to the casting and made the cut and in 2005 her modeling career started. She did a few jobs with the agency and got lots of exposure. She stayed and worked along with the agency for over a year before she left… she was dissatisfied with her agent because she wasn’t being paid for her jobs. Vashti is a very outspoken person and when she isn’t pleased the offending party will definitely know, and this was the case with her and her agent.

Depressed and upset Vashti quit the agency and began to freelance. She was in for a shock as she didn’t expect the calls and request for her to model and represent brands would be so many. She began to work with another agent but she was disturbed at what she discovered on what young teens had to put up with for a chance to become a supermodel. Sexual favors’, drugs and private prostitution were a part of the package. Shocked, Vashti wrote a story on her findings and sent it to a local newspaper.

Again leaving this agency Vashti decided that she wouldn’t work with another agent, she didn’t want to freelance either so she started her own Model Management on February 13th 2006, Poise (PYOISE) Modeling Agency was born. Poise Modeling Agency Pyoise Models and Entertainment is a model management, grooming agency and fashion house located in Jamaica. This agency was established to create an opportunity for budding young talents to express themselves and make them better individuals, while preparing themselves for the international market, in comfort around trustworthy professionals.

Poise(Pyoise) and Vashti have worked with a few local and Intl business giants and has gotten good reviews. Her company now has over 40 local models ready for international circuit; her dreams are closer to becoming her reality.

Now working on her own career, Vashti spends most of her time traveling and living in Europe shooting for her own magazine,Doing casting calls and auditions for her model series: FACES OF THE WORLD, THE NEXT FASHION MODELS!! and strutting her stuff and marketing her models.

Being at the helm of an entertainment company and about to launch her magazine and clothing line, this woman’s preponderance is above all. She is also a trained linguist and hopes to speak at least 12 languages fluently.

Without presage, Vashti continues to marvel persons around her with her drive to success. “It’s so easy to be successful, you just need an idea and dedicate yourself to that idea” says Vashti

Bill gates didn’t even finished Harvard and yet he is one of the wealthiest men on the planet, and he was able to revolutionize the 21st century.

All one need is the Idea, the belief in the idea and the guts to follow through, no matter the odds and sacrifice you have to go through…..

I DARED ME…….. NOW I DARE YOU
