She's Simply Medgie: Exclusive Interview With The Beautiful & Talented Model/Actress

I'm so happy that Haitian bombshell Medgie took time out from her busy schedule to actually answer my questions because most people would've been like, "You need to talk to my publicist". But, that just comes to show y'all how sincere and humble she is. Shorty is on the rise to the TOP! So, take a look at the interview I had with her below. Y'all ain't gonna find this no where else. Why? Because this is an "It Ain't Hate, It's Da Truth!" EXCLUSIVE!!!!!!

What is your full name, birth date and age?

My full name is Medgie Desir. I was born on March 14, 1985 which means I am 22 years old!

Where are you from?
I was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti and raised in Brooklyn, New York.

How would you describe yourself?
I would describe my self as a young, self-motivated person, who at times can be very outspoken and opinionated. I’m obsessed with my work and determined to become successful!

How did you get into modeling and why?

I actually started acting first; modeling was something that followed after. I’ve been doing both now for the past 3 years.

Who have you worked for and worked with?

I've worked with many different people, both celebrities and non-celebrities! At this point, my favorite photographer that I've had the pleasure to work with is Pyro ENT./Dwayne (DMC Fotos aka Crooklyn Swing). I've done various fashion shows, however my favorite was with "Tough City". I played an extra in Spider Man 3 and was featured in an Ad for Kingsborough Community College. I've done various shows, where I've worked with Funk Master Flex and Serious Jones. At this present time, you can catch me in an up-coming music video with "DJ Self", The Prince of New York!

Are you working on anything at the moment?

As we speak I'm in the process of shooting with Hype Hair Magazine! So, everyone stay tuned and look out for me in their next edition!

What is your opinion regarding the entertainment industry and why?
Ummm...(Laughing) sadly enough I think I am one of the many people who are very passionate when it comes to the entertainment industry! Growing up, I would say to my friends and family that I wanted to become an actress, they would literally laugh in my face and ask me if I was serious! Ironically enough, people fail to realize that the entertainment industry has played an important role in shaping the lives of many people, whether being both negative and positive! I just hope that I too may become one of the individuals in the industry who help shape society for the better!

What would you say to the many young women who are trying to break into the modeling industry?What advice/tips do you recommend?
First, I would say to them, "Modeling isn’t what it appears to be!" It’s a tough industry to break into and no one is physically perfect for the job. I haven’t met one flawless model yet! So, before you can expect your audience to love you and love what you bring into the modeling industry, you first have to love yourself! And if that is your true passion, then go for it! Work hard, be you, stay focused, don’t believe everything that is offered to you, and always check into any documentation before signing! And success will follow after!

Other than modeling, are you pursuing other endeavors? If so, what are they?
Other than modeling , I’m really focusing on finishing school! It can be hard at times because at the same time I model, act, work full-time, and attend school full-time!

Who is the most influential person in your life?
Besides my parents, I would say my aunt was the most influential person in my life. She passed away in February 2005 of Bone Marrow Cancer. So, I’ve made a promise to myself and her that with the money I make from this industry I would like to start a charity for low and middle class people who are suffering with cancer, to help pay for their medical treatment. Money makes the world go round, the more money you have the best medical treatment you receive! And that is sad; everyone regardless of race and wealth should receive top-notch medical treatment!

"It Ain't Hate, It's Da Truth"- Now, I know that's right. She ain't lying about that y'all. For a country like ours that is so wealthy, our citizens particularly those of the lower class have a tough time getting medical coverage. That is sad, it's like you gotta be really destitute to get anything in this country!

We all have our embarrassing moments. Can you share yours?
Oh My!! (Laughing) I was hoping that I wouldn’t get this question one day! But, I will gladly share! I entered a beauty pageant at a school I attended in Sullivan County, New York and we had to perform a talent as part of the competition, I decided that I was going to step blindfolded on stage. For weeks, I practiced my routine at hours at a time! I had it mastered! When it came time to perform, I walked on stage, put my blind fold on, and did the damn thing! The crowd went crazy, and I was hyped, proud of the response that I received from the audience. Now, the whole time everyone was cheering me on I was walking off the stage, all the while struggling to take my blindfold off. And in a moment that seemed to have lasted forever, I walked right off the stage and fell into the audience, with the blindfold on! That was so embarrassing! But, me being who I am went back on stage and took a bow! That was my most embarrassing moment! Ssshhhh!! And tell no one!
"It Ain't Hate, It's Da Truth"- Well, at least she didn't bust her a$$ on stage like Miss Beyonce did while performing last week in Orlando. LMFAO

Ten years from now, where do you see yourself? What do you want to be remembered as?
Ummm… I really don’t know! (Laughing) Hopefully happy and healthy!
What is your favorite quote?
" With God, everything is possible!"
