When people think of Detroit, they think of the grind and hustle of the every day life. One thing people do not think of when thinking of Detroit is modeling. Sparkle is loooking to change this perception. A native of Detroit, Sparkle is quickly becoming one of the most popular ladies on the independent circuit.
Sparkle is currently modeling for the SODMG Goon$’ Lady Goon$. Over the past few years, the SODMG Goon$ have become one of the more popular rising crews in hip hop. With their expansion have come the addition of models. Sparkle is among the ladies chosen to represent the fairer side of the Goon$.
While she models for the Lady Goon$, Sparkle has goals outside of the hip hop industry. Sparkle dreams of one day making the jump from Detroit to Hollywood. She recently discussed these goals and much more with Hip Hop Vibe.
