Fl orn and raised in Jacksonville, FL,24-yearJokisha "Dynasty" Brown is an aspiring l{old ymodel. actress, and rapper who appears on the cover of Fantasy World's 2005 calendar. How did you decide to pursue the entertainment business as a career? First I became interested in acting. Modeting was second, and then rapping. I was a fan of Janet Jack, son and I aLways knew that I wanted to do music and entertain, but ldidn't figure out how tit a cou' pLe years later. Singjng wasn't for me. croups like Satt-N-Pepa inspjred me, Rap reaLty started ctinging to me, and I knew that this is what lwanted to do.
lstarted doing tittle tatent shows, and now I've got the acting and modetjng and musjc. l'm constantly putting my music on hotd for modeting, tryjng to juggte everything at one time. What's on your resume so far? As far as actjng, l've done severatindependent tow budget fiLms and a lot of ptays and fashion shows in Jacksonvitle. We just wrapped up a movie in Mjami caLted Street l.lorey. I ptayed a gangsta girt, and I end up kilting one of the majn characters. l'm tike a hit girl. lt shouLd be at Btockbuster soon. You've got a reputation around Jacksonville as a hustler. How have you earned that reputation? [Photographer and Fantasy Wortd pubtisher Atdrick Wittiams] says l'm hjs number one selter. He has two editions, the Men's Edition and the Dimes Edition. I'm on the cover of both. I was one of the tast sirts to be added to the catendar.
Where do you sell the calendars? Mostly in the cLubs, barbershops, flea markets, and car washes. I get so much [ove, everyone's supportjve, lf l'm jn the grocery store, l'm outside tike, "Hey, wouLd you tike to purchase a catendar?" I'm surprised that even femates have been buying. They make good
Chr
istmas presents.
the guys that buy the calendar hit on you? I get a tot of comptements; they usuatty want me to hook them up wjth different girts. lt makes them happy to buy it 'cause you sign it for them. 5o, they're tetLing their friends they know me or whatever and that's what setts. Do
Any celebrities you've met? I just did the Trick Daddy video for "Let's co," that was a cool set to hang out on. I know Twista, T.1., they're coot. I talk to Tigger every now and then.
Have you had artists offer to help out your career, with 5trings attached? Yeah, I've heard that before. I usualty watk away from situations like that, because peopLe tend to pre-judge me. With the catendar they figure l'd be witting to do certain things, but whatever I earn, I want to earn it the right way. I know it takes a lot of hard work and determination to make it in the industry and l'm determjned. I aLways pray about those situations. l'd never lower my standards. What kind of guy are you looking for? A guy who's honest and supportive. A tot of guys can't handte the fact that I've gotta communicate
wjth other guys in the industry I don't want hjrn to feet any tess of a man. I don't see the money, l'd rather have someone who tikes me for me. I't[ support them 100%; I just need someone to be my backbone wjthout any jeatousy.
