Bella Girl - Jennifer Nicole Leibowitz
PHOTOGRAPHY BY Gilbert Henry
BELLA: Where are you from originally? JENNIFER: Beautifully sunny, Coral Springs Florida
BELLA: Were you more physical or intellectual growing up? JENNIFER: A mixture of both, I can’t pick! I have been writing poetry since a very young age, but also did competition dancing all of my life!
BELLA: What do you do for fun? JENNIFER: I write music, poetry, sing, dance, act, work out, take Bikram Yoga, movies, and the beach
BELLA: What do you do to stay in shape? JENNIFER: I practice dancing at least five days a week in the gym, lift weights, stretch, run, swim, and take Bikram Yoga
BELLA: What was your first job? JENNIFER: Well, I have always worked as a performer. When I was 12 I sang the National Anthem at Gulf Stream Racetrack, but that was not really a “job”. I’d say my first real job was teaching dance and choreography.
BELLA: What is one thing people would be surprised to know about you? JENNIFER: I have a lot of built up energy inside of me. I turn all of my experiences that have deeply affected me, and write a poem about it. After the poem, I normally make it into a song.
BELLA: What's your best feature? JENNIFER: My powerful, curvy body.
BELLA: What's your favorite sport? JENNIFER: Dance!
BELLA: What is a Bella girl to you? JENNIFER: A Bella girl to me follows her dreams. She is determined, strong minded, and has the will power to make what she wants a reality. She is not only beautiful on the outside, but even more gorgeous on the inside.
BELLA : How do you get yourself energized before a shoot? JENNIFER: I do not need to! The second I am rockin’ my favorite attire, hear the clicking on the cameras, and see flashing lights, I am all jazzed up!
BELLA: What makes you different from most models? JENNIFER: I would say my flexibility. I began dancing at age 3, and gymnastics only couple of years after that. Because my body is so limber, I know how to create unique and abstract poses, and have these moments captured on camera. I have been in the spot light and on stage most of my life, and it comes very natural to me.
BELLA: Where do you see yourself in five years? JENNIFER: I see myself having one of my original songs on the Billboard Charts, and also performing on Broadway.
BELLA: What is you favorite part of modeling so far? JENNIFER: I love that modeling allows me to be free. I use my emotions to trigger my expressions, and allow all of my different sides to come out. Modeling is absolutely liberating!
