B&B: Would you say that your education took you to places most people never would dream of?
AH: I only applied to two schools and Howard was one of them that I wanted to go to. I wouldn’t have half the connections that I have now if it wasn’t for attending Howard. I wouldn’t have half the friendships that I have now. Education, to me, is very important. Even if you’re not going to get a degree, the experience of getting the education overall helps you in life.

B&B: You’ve been featured in videos for cats like 50 Cent to Bow Wow. What was your most memorable experience and why?
AH: My most memorable was a negative one. I did a video for a group that’ll remain nameless. There were girls everywhere, but it made me uninterested in doing videos ever again. I learned then that I’d be more effective behind the scenes. I thought that I was too old to do it. So, it’s something that I want to stay away from.

B&B: According to your bio, you’re working for an entertainment consulting firm. What have you learned from your job that you apply to your writing here at HipHopDX.com?
AH: I have a new job now, but I used to, yes… That job – what I learned there will carry me through life. I learned about management, contracts and all that. When I first moved to New York, I was on the phone talking to Tommy Hilfiger and the likes of that. I learned about the legal side. My boss, she was really on point – which had me feeling the same way. I was nervous one time when I was on the phone with Shyne. I mean… he’s Shyne. Through time we got to be cool, but I know that if I can talk to him then I can talk to anyone.

B&B: You’ve done something different that most of the models haven’t. You’re the girl on the cover of such books like “Heaven Sent,” “Wednesday’s Woes,” and “Someone Else’s Puddin’.” Have you ever thought about penning your own novel?
AH: I actually have! Just because of the type of books that I was involved in, I looked at it and thought that I can do that. My life has been pretty much straight-forward. I never really had too much drama in my life. I was pretty sheltered, but I have had some drama. It wasn’t really too difficult or anything that. But I love it nonetheless.

B&B: So, what is it that you don’t like about answering your phone?
AH: I just hate when it rings. I prefer to text or send emails. Because people talk too much during the daytime and don’t even bother to call after nine. I like talking to people in person. But I hate being on the phone. Continued on page 3 »
