Where did you get the idea to put out a calendar called I Am Every Woman? I did a shoot for another magazine last summer and I posed as a Bond girl. We created three looks from a James Bond movie, and I got good responses from people all over the country. I never knew I had it in me to actually look like that on camera, so I decided to use it to my advantage and take it further. I picked ten different influential women who I admired, and honored them by recreating their look in this calendar. It’s called I’m Every Woman, and it pays tribute to women like Billie Holiday, Josephine Baker, Tina Turner, Halle Berry, and Angela Davis, just to name a few. How can someone get a copy of the calendar or get more information? They can log on to www.KFoxxOnline.com to purchase the calendar. A lot of them will be given away through the radio station for promotional use. I will also be giving some away to local stores, and hopefully Borders will pick it up. I think nowadays there are not a lot of female role models that little girls can look up to. Back in the day you had the Tina Turners, Josephine Bakers, and Angela Davises, but today there are really no role models for us to look up to aside from video girls. Not everyone fits that image, so that’s why I wanted to put out this calendar, so we can get back to the real essence of a woman and show how we’re able to conquer adversity.
a male-dominated business, men obviously look at the physical first. I really had to set my boundaries first and decide what I’m gonna do and what I’m not gonna do. As a woman in this business, you get tested. Men look at you like you’re a sex symbol first. I had to really perfect my craft and say, listen, this is what I have to offer, and if you’re not fucking with it then step down. I’m not about to lay down for anybody that wants to get up in me. Once you know yourself and you’ve set boundaries, it’s easier not to get discouraged by the challenges. Once you prevail and your talent is exposed, there is no stopping you. If you’re talented and you believe that, you’ve gotta stand by it and keep on going. If one door is closed, believe that another one is gonna open. There’s definitely been sexual harassment and men thinking I’m not smart enough to handle certain things, but give me the opportunity and I’m taking it and running with it. So once you developed a reputation, it got easier for you? Definitely, cause men will test you to see how far they can go. Once you say, “Listen, I don’t get down like that,” they’ve gotta give you your respect... The rest of this interview will be featured in the July issue of OZONE Magazine at www.OZONEMAG.com.
Do you plan on taking your modeling career to the next level? I definitely think this calendar is gonna be a stepping stone to more modeling, because when people look at it they’re like, “Wow, you transformed into each of these women.” I’m not saying that I look totally like them, cause you can’t look like ten different women, but I captured the essence of each of them. I’m not opposed to doing print work so I’d definitely like to do more modeling, but I want to tap more into acting. I used to do theater back in the days when I was in high school. I really want to act because people can see you as different characters. I’m a chameleon, and I think this calendar shows that. I think I can put that talent to use on the big screen.
