We had the good fortune of connecting with Domenic Fuqua and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Domenic, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
I truly think , like is built on risk . Often I find myself weighing out options on “ what’s the worst that can come from this “ . Risk can bring fear of uncertainty but risk also cuts out your comfort zone and brings more opportunities
Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Modeling and fashion have become second breath to me . I think it’s more about an experience in a moment and I feel like that’s some thing that I bring to the table. One of my proudest moments would be my publication in an intentional magazine- completely mind blowing ! But when you live in your raw truth and you truly enjoy what you expressed creatively every door that closes ends up being motivation to open up a hall of double doors. There were several difficulties and there are still several difficulties with finding work sometimes but that’s the difference between a passion and a hobby. The biggest lesson I’ve learned – You’ve got to keep GOING! . I want the world to see me for who I am ! A Wife , mother , a human being who was able to follow their dreams , regardless of how hard and slow the road May have been .

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I LOVE Balboa and SeaPort Village . Growing up as a kids simply getting a hot chocolate or Bite to eat while walking along the piers of Seaport ! Or roaming the Beauty art history of Balboa park ! Argh stunning and you can pack your own lunch . Picnic and enjoy the Art – is literally everywhere .
