Ukuzizwa egqugquzelwa uTrevor kulula kakhulu, umenza kalula kithi. Kodwa ake sibone ukuthi uTrevor wazalelwa kuphi nokuthi lo modeli uwuqala kanjani umsebenzi wakhe.
Mayelana noTrevor
Ngakhulela edolobheni elincane laseMetro Detroit (Saint Clair Shores) elinabazali bobabili ngaze ngaba neminyaka engaba ngu-3/4 ubudala. Ubaba angimkhumbuli kakhulu, ngiyazi nje ukuthi umama wabhekana kanjani nokungikhulisa ngiseyingane.
Wanikela ngokuphila kwakhe ukuze aqinisekise ukuthi ngikhuliswa ngendlela efanele. Ngenhlanhla wayenabafowabo nodadewabo abangu-8 ngakho kwakuhlale kunomndeni eduze. Ngebanga lesi-4 ngaqala ukudlala ibhola, ngibonga umngane wami omkhulu u-Adam.
Umfana wangifaka ekukhanyeni kokusebenza kanzima futhi ngingayeki. Bobabili laba bantu babeyizikhuthazo ezinkulu kanye namandla okukhuthaza ukuziphatha okuhle emsebenzini, ubuntu, kanye nomlingiswa enginawo namuhla.
"Yini i-motivation yakho?? Okwami ukukhuliswa kwami, ngingenaye ubaba futhi angizalelwanga engcebweni.. Was working at 14 and never stop. Engake ngikwazi kwakuwukusebenza kanzima ezikhathini ezimnandi nasezikhathini ezimbi... Ngeke ngithi ngiyisisusa sami kodwa impilo enganginayo nobunzima obungenza ngingafuni ukuphinde ngibone ezinye zalezo zinsuku.. Thola ukuthi kungani futhi kwenze kwenzeke!!"
Trevor kanye Nokuphila Kwezemidlalo okunothisayo
Ngidlale ezemidlalo kusukela ebangeni lesi-4 futhi ngaqhubeka ngokungeza ithrekhi nokubhukuda nokutshuza esikoleni esiphakeme.
Kuyo yonke leminyaka ngangifunda umagazini ngemva komagazini wokwakha umzimba, umsoco, nokuzivocavoca ngizama ukufunda okuningi ngangokunokwenzeka ukuze ngikwazi ukusiza abanye bafinyelele imigomo yabo njengoba umngane wami u-Adam angisiza.
Ngangazi ukuthi ukuqeqeshwa komuntu siqu kuyindlela elungile kimi ngakho ngaya esikoleni ngesayensi yokuzivocavoca futhi ngaba umqeqeshi oqinisekisiwe lapho ngineminyaka engu-21 ubudala.
Ngenkathi ngifunda eSaginaw Valley State University ngafunda ngomfana ogama lakhe linguGreg Plitt. Waziwa kakhulu ngesisusa/ugqozi lwakhe u-Greg wayeyimodeli yokufaneleka ehamba phambili emhlabeni futhi ekleliswe phezulu kwabesilisa abayi-100 ababukeka kahle kakhulu. Ngemva kokubona ama-video akhe nokufunda namabhulogi akhe ngagqugquzeleka ukuthi ngingene ekumodeleni kodwa ngangingenalo ulwazi lokuthi ngiqale kuphi. Ngokungazi ngebhizinisi noma ukuthi ngixhumane nobani ngavele ngagxila ekusebenzeni umsebenzi wami wezandla kanye nokwakha umzimba ongcono kakhulu engingawenza ngelinye ilanga ngikwazi ukukhombisa futhi ngikhuthaze abanye njengoba kwenza uGreg.
Kwaze kwafika eminyakeni engu-5 kamuva lapho imithombo yezokuxhumana kanye ne-Instagram iqala ukukhula lapho ngithola mayelana nabanye abathwebuli bezithombe ezindaweni ezizungezile kanye nendlela yokwenza ukusetha isithombe.
Ngibe nomthwebuli wezithombe oyedwa ofinyelele kimi futhi wamisa isithombe sami ngemuva kokubona okuthunyelwe kwami ezinkundleni zokuxhumana futhi ngezinyanga ezimbalwa ngiqedile ukuthwebula isithombe sami sokuqala.
Akudingekile ukusho ukuthi isipiliyoni bekungesikho ebengikulindele futhi ngacishe ngacishwa esihlokweni.
Ngachitha iminyaka emibili eyalandela ngigxile emsebenzini wami futhi ngolunye usuku lo mthwebuli engangimlandela (Joem Bayawa) wafinyelela kimi.
Ekuqaleni ngangifana nesihogo cha lol, ngemva kwalokho engangidlule kukho okokuqala ngangingafuni kuphinde kwenzeke. Ngiqale ngenqaba kodwa ngilokhu ngikhumbula.
"Isikhumba okuso yisona kuphela ozoba naso, ngaphambi kokuthi uthande abanye kumele uqale uzithande ngokweqiniso."
UJoem noTrevor abasebenzisana nabo
Kwaze kwafika uZibandlela wezi-2017 lapho uJoem ephinda efinyelela futhi saqala ukukhuluma amahora ambalwa lapha, amahora ambalwa lapho, futhi lapho ngenza kanjalo ngangazi ukuthi kwakuzoba isipiliyoni esihlukile.
Ngalesi sikhathi ngangidlula esihogweni, ngokwezimali, ngokomzimba, ngokwengqondo, nangokwenhlalo nje ngiphansi kakhulu. UJoem wayelokhu ethi kwenze nje bese uphuma waya eChicago.
Ngicabanga ukuthi ngaleso sikhathi ngangingase ngibe namakhulu ambalwa egameni lami uma lokho- ngasho lokho futhi ngahamba. Ngigcine ngigibele ibhasi eliya eChicago futhi ngizothi belilingana nesenti ngalinye.
Mina noJoem saqala ukuntengantenga nami ngingenalo ulwazi kusukela eminyakeni emibili noma emithathu edlule. Ngemva kokugqwala, sakha amashothi amaningi amahle.
"UJoem ungumthwebuli wezithombe omfunayo ekhoneni lakho, hhayi nje umthwebuli wezithombe osezingeni eliphezulu kodwa futhi ungumngane omuhle."
Akazange ahlangane nomlingiswa ongenabugovu onjalo, angase abe nendaba kakhulu kodwa yilesi simo sengqondo asiletha ekuthandweni kwakhe.
Ayikho imininingwane egeja ngoJoem, isiqondiso sakhe nokunaka imininingwane akunakuqhathaniswa. U-Joem wavusa umlilo wami ukuze ngiphishekele ukumodela/ukufaneleka futhi.
Ngemuva kokudubula kwethu uJoem uveze ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthi axhumane ne-ejensi. Ngemva kokukhuluma nabantu abalungile (uSteve Wimbley) ngakwazi ukuthola inkontileka ne-DAS Model Management eMiami.
UJoem kungaba isincomo sami sokuqala kunoma ngubani ongenela ukumodela efuna ukwakha iphothifoliyo eqinile noma umakadebona ofuna ukuvuselela ubuciko bakhe okuthile.

Ukuphishekela kwami ukuba imodeli eyaziwayo/yokufaneleka kuyaqhubeka kanye nokudlalela ibhola elithuthukisa iligi ye-CFL kanye ne-NFL rivals pro football league.
