Entrepreneur brings small businesses together
Arianna Arnachillam's devotion has paid off and she is shaping her future by securing an official invitation to attend the Worldwide IMTA (International Models and Talent Association) Convention.
The milestone event will be held in New York City in July 2021.
This will offer Arianna an opportunity to showcase her skills and learn from industry professionals. However, she will need to pay between R140 000 to R150 000 in order to cover her participation costs and convention fees.
Among other costs, she will also need to cover transportation, photoshoots, marketing material and workshops.
To achieve her goal, she is appealing to sponsors to kindly lend financial assistance.
She told the RECORD she also plans to hold fund-raisers that will benefit the community.
Ambitious model
The Brackenhurst resident is best described as an entrepreneur and social influencer who is a hardworking and dedicated individual.
Her journey as model and in the talent industry started when she realised she wanted to be a brand ambassador.
“In order to achieve this goal, modelling was the path I needed to take. I immersed myself as best as I could into the modelling world and through my hard work and efforts, I have been blessed with certain opportunities,” she said.
Arianna said attending the convention would be a wonderful opportunity for her and she would embrace every moment of it.
“I believe this will be a platform that will allow me to develop in all aspects and can serve as the foundation of what the future holds for me. Like many others, I want to change the world. I want to teach people that there is more to life and that they have so much to offer this world,” she said.
The entrepreneurial 16-year-old said she wants to be an inspiration to many, especially her generation. She also highlighted that she has successfully launched a brand called Curly, Curvy&Caramel. The brand, according to Arianna, has been designed to empower teenagers who lack self-confidence to embrace diversity.
“I motivate people to feel confident and powerful in their own skin, to aspire to be the best version of themselves and to celebrate their natural beauty. To inspire the youth is to fuel a generation with success. Inspiration is something powerful,” said Arianna.
