About Me[day.lor-ray]

I'm a Black, published model/creative director, brand ambassador, digital content creator, and actress. I relocated to Phoenix, AZ in 2018 all the way from Kentucky, where everyone knows me as Maranda. I have over 4 years of modeling experience, including: beauty, boudoir, commercial, e-commerce, editorial, fashion, and lifestyle. I have also produced/assisted with photo shoots, featured in music videos & been published in 10+ magazines. In November 2020, I signed to Priority Talent Agency, which has been a goal of mine since I started my journey! During the COVID pandemic, I began developing my skills outside of modeling, like pose directing, teaching modeling classes, set design, product photography & more!  I even invested in a DSLR camera, which I use my free time to learn, experiment & create with. My inherited charisma and ambition fuels my drive to highlight the importance of intelligent, natural-bodied, Black Women in the entertainment industry. I aspire to show other women that they can be exquisite, the way God made them, while being diligent and staying true to their values!
