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

Hi Ramona, what role has risk played in your life or career?
I think risk taking is essential for growth. But it can also be scary. Looking back to some of the happiest and most important moments of my life I was definitely in front of a few crossroads. And the best outcome always came after choosing the scariest option.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
What sets me apart from others is my outlook on life. I have a positive perspective that has helped me along my journey. Modeling was always a dream for me but I didn’t know where to start. I had to learn a lot on my own which was challenging. I immersed myself in the fashion industry and did my best to learn fast. For anyone reading this I would like them to know that in the end, it’s always worth it. I went from someone dreaming about being a model to being in Vogue Italia.

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?
For food and drink, I would take them to various restaurants and bars to get a nice mix of NYC. 

We could go to an Italian restaurant for lunch, followed by dinner at one of my favorite restaurants and drinks at a rooftop bar in Midtown with a stunning view of the Empire State Building. As far as activities, we might do some fun boutique shopping.
