Top Model - Kyla Coleman

Kyla Coleman - Winner of America's Next Top Model cycle 24. last winner of ANTM who conquered the fashion industry. Coleman was born to a Caucasian mother and an African-American father and she's been active and outspoken on issues related to race. That described her look as a “biracial butterfly” in a Tyra Mail message during the finale that aired April 10, her fan base #TeamKyla knows she’s next level fierce and on her political activism game while finally becoming America’s Next Top Model.

Kyla grew up in Olympia with three brothers and played sports throughout high school. Her parents raised them all the same way, meaning she was treated like one of the boys. Towards the end of high school she had a head injury and stopped playing sports. Since she wasn’t able to continue, she had to find new passions to identify with and started to volunteer with the Gay-Straight Alliance and attend rallies against police brutality. She was never treated differently or discriminated against because of her race or sexuality, but she recently realized that it’s hard to appreciate the privilege that she have if she stay in her own bubble.

She was never super passionate about modeling because she was focused on so many different things. she got started with (Seattle-based) Heffner Management when she was 17 after they scouted her at a Miley Cyrus concert. Last year, she was just on her grind working 80 hours a week at Starbucks and a couple other jobs. An ANTM producer found Kyla through Instagram and direct messaged her one afternoon, and she just happened to have the next day off.

Finally she got into ANTM cycle 24 and with her look she's finally take the crown and be the last winner. After ANTM ended, Kyla moving to L.A. and going to be roommates with Coura (a contestant from the show). She do have goals for her life and before Top Model, she wanted to build a center for at-risk youth and hope to do that later in life. she really love kids, and she was so lucky to have support growing up.

Since the show Kyla was featured in the music video for Dua Lipa's "Don't Start Now". Not only that he's modeled for Urban Outfitters, Valentino, Diesel, Calvin Klein, Off-White, Alexander Wang, i-D Magazine, Tommy Hilfiger x Zendaya, Dolls Kill, Vogue Italia, etc. I believed she has still so many to offers and wish she'll be bigger in the future!
