Since being dismissed from the cast of the “Real Housewives of Atlanta,” Phaedra Parks has added a new gig to her longstanding career in the industry. According to Us Weekly, the lawyer-turned-reality star-turned mortician has now kicked off her career as a model.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The publication caught up with the newly named Wilhelmina model to discuss her new career move, her body, and her goals and inspirations.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“I think I’m the face of ‘yes you can,’” Parks told the publication. “I’m a small town girl who has followed her dreams. Yes you can be a mom, yes you can be a lawyer and yes you can be a model. When the opportunity presented itself some people asked me ‘Why?’ and I said ‘Why not?’ A supermodel started this company and she wanted to give the power back to the women and I think I stand for the same things. I have the opportunity to show people that beauty can come in every size, shade, color, and age. It’s exciting and an adventure.”

Parks then went on to discuss how she felt about representing an “under-served market,” where she explained that in this time, “women need to be empowered to stand in their truth, to be different, dare to be diverse and stand up in times of controversy.”

When it comes to the particular campaigns she wants to focus on, the mother-of-two explained that she would love to be the face of a skincare or cosmetic line. However, she doesn’t mind showing some skin for the camera.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“I don’t mind baring it all, I have been wearing g-strings and baring it all really every season for seven years. I had two children on national TV. I love nudity! I’ve bought a lot of exotic entertainers on the show, so I love my body and I’ve got curves. I’m a mother of two, so I’m not perfect, but I have no problem getting naked.”

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As things turn around in her life, from her being fired to her divorce, Parks has finally started to be happy with who she is. And now she believes, she is getting better with time.
