Meet Kendrick Nelson | Model / Influencer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Kendrick Nelson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kendrick, what habits do you feel helped you succeed?
Habits I Feel Helped Me along the way succeed in my career , I believe in my life as well , is having a consistent prayer life .. journaling what I feel through the practice of meditation, so that things in my life is balanced . I had to make it a habit , putting myself first when it comes to all aspects of my life. Taking time out for myself , every chance I get , spending as much time alone so that I can explore and discover different and new things about myself … so that I can create and continue to succeed , so that I always show up in my highest form … unapologetically

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I’m proud that I’m still here , still standing and progressing after being in the modeling industry almost 10 years , on going . I’m truly blessed to be apart and to work with so many amazing influencers and creators. It wasn’t easy , and as of today , it’s still not easy. Constantly having to shift and transition through an industry that changes , everyday , every hour, second and minute. Navigating through personal growth, political changes in our economy and becoming the man God wants me to be. Experience is the greatest teacher, that gives the greatest lessons. I’ve experienced a lot … Won From It, and still winning from it . We won’t be able to understand , what we haven’t experienced … We can read up on things all day … but without experience … it’s just a knowing….. Learning and growing … Learning to keep going , learning to keep showing up , when I don’t feel like it. When I become uncomfortable… Show Up ! I want the world to know I am apart of a story , it’s not my story but it’s my journey , I’m just blessed to be a main character

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
So. It depends on the friend , when it comes to hanging out and having a good time , the beautiful thing I have in common with my friends and associates is we all love learning and discovering different art. Relaxing and recharging is one of them … There is beauty in relaxing and getting yourself together and recharged .
The Spa at The Miami Beach EDITION is always a go-to
If you want fine dining , Brunch or Dinner
The Villa Casa Casuarina At The Former Versace Mansion , Is My Always Go-To ( Versace is my favorite designer by the way )
Collectively or solo , The Vizcaya Museum & Gardens ….. Now Miami Is full of different events and attractions, you really don’t need a whole lot of money to enjoy , A Margarita, My Journal , headphones … on the beach will always be my go-to … soaking up the sun … Bring Your dope vibes and energy and you’ll have an amazing time.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
