We had the good fortune of connecting with Elijah and Jasmine LinQ’D Model Management and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Elijah and Jasmine, what do you want your legacy to be?
I want my Legacy to be about , helping people be the best version of their creative selves and express it without having to shrink themselves into fitting into the industry .

I want people to say , A young influencer changed the world for other creative all over the world , she built an empire out of building a team of leaders .

If you are a parent, what do you think is the most important thing you’ve done as a parent in terms of the impact on your children?                                              As a Parent I think the most important thing we’ve done would be continuing to build our empire , even after losing our on at almost 7 months. His live gives us motivation to keep working hard and being the best version of ourselves we can be for our son.

Risk taking: how do you think about risk, what role has taking risks played in your life/career?                                                                                              When it comes to taking a risk , We believe in going all the way to accomplish our dreams . Nothing can beat a failure but a try and Motivation and drive will outweigh  all the obstacles .

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
LinQ’D Model Management, is About linking Talent Creative People together no matter where you are in the world and bringing their creativity to life for the world to see . No experience in the industry necessary , we prefer pure talent , confidence & self motivation .

We’ve gotten to where we are today because one day we decided , to take matters into our own hands and become the versions of ourselves that we truly wanted to be , we decided to come up with our own ideas for our Photoshoots ,brainstorm about our own fashion looks, , build our own brands and tell our own story instead of just blending into the background of the industry . We strived to be Partners with an individual shine .

It wasn’t easy but then again , the best things in life never are . It took patience , focus ax drive , & believing in ourselves and believing in our dreams , even if other did not .

We have learned to appreciate every opportunity that comes our way and value each Professionals Talent , no two people are the same and you can’t treat them like they are , you have to take time to help each individual bring out their own creative version of themselves and brand them in a way that expresses who they are , what they want & what motivates them to be as creative as they are in their nest and worst moments.

Is it hard running a business ?                                                                        It is challenging at times , but when you see your project come to life , it means more than you can imagine .
Life as an Entrepreneur: You have to be able to motivate yourself to go hard everyday. Yu have to be willing to do what it takes to make your mark, you have to be willing to make moves where other’s can’t , and most importantly you have to be willing to take chances , and always keep in mind : This is your business and no one else will cherish it the way that you do. You get what you put into the career.

What is the most important factor behind your success / the success of your brand?                                                                                                      The Most important factor behind our success , is that we did it together , as a team! We believe in everything and everyone we chose to work with , and most certainly we trust and believe in each other and success just seems to follow us

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?
If a friend was coming to town to visit , The Dallas Ball would be a great place to see Dallas , but not the food there lol.

Rooftops are some of our favorite spots , no matter who you are , taking a moment to relax , eat , & have drinks on top of a Dallas Rooftop is like a dream for anyone . It’s such a surreal moment , fun yet breath taking .

If you come to Dallas you have to checkout Chef Benjamin, his food is absolutely phenomenal, something you would rave about to your friends , family , co-workers and people passing you by in elevator conversation , YES! it’s that good 😊

You absolutely can’t visit Dallas if you aren’t going to checkout , Odd Fellas , the food and drinks there are so good for a great price . They serve breakfast until 5pm and Dinner afterwards , BUT the breakfast is so amazing you will try your hardest to make it there before 5pm . Don’t be fooled , it’s always busy , so reserve your table early !

We love scenery site seeing , And Dfw has lots of beautiful museums , they are gorgeous from the outside in – inside out . We love booking Photoshoots at museums!

Then of course there’s helicopter rides !
