Be Wary of Who You Trust
Jaqi has openly admitted that navigating the modeling industry has been one of the most difficult learning experiences she’s encountered. On her blog, she writes, “This by far has been one of the most stressful, upsetting, mind-boggling, and biggest lessons I’ve learned in this industry so far.” Her candor underscores the fact that behind the glamorous exterior of modeling lies a complex, and sometimes treacherous, world.
She specifically warns others about the importance of doing thorough research before trusting agents, agencies, or industry professionals. According to Jaqi, it’s crucial not to rush into partnerships or decisions without vetting the people involved. She advises all parents entering the industry with their children to be selective and cautious, as the wrong decision could lead to regret.
