Phaedra Parks has always had quite a few irons in the fire. When Phaedra made her debut on the Real Housewives of Atlanta, practicing law was her main focus. But with time, she used her reality TV platform to create more streams of income. Now, Phaedra is a best-selling author with a number of successful business ventures and she’s even completed mortuary school. However, all of those ventures have absolutely nothing to do with what she’s up to nowadays. Apparently, Phaedra has inked a new deal doing something you probably would never expect.

The New Face Of Wilhelmina Models:

According to US Weekly, Phaedra Parks is now a model. Yes, you read that right – a model. It has been reported that the former reality TV star recently inked a deal with Wilhelmina Models. During an interview with the publication, she opened up about her plans for the future. Since she’s no longer part of the Real Housewives of Atlanta cast, she’s embarking on a different path and modeling is next on the list. When asked about her new career, she explained how she feels she can be an inspiration to others. She believes she’s the face of the “Yes, You Can” campaign.

“I think I’m the face of “yes you can.” 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 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!

Plans For The Future:

Phaedra went on to express the type of modeling campaigns she’d like to be involved in. From skincare to makeup, Phaedra’s interesting in many different facets of beauty. “Well, I would love be the face of skincare brand. I have great skin, I love makeup, but I love to be able to take off the makeup and have beautiful skin. I also think a lot of girls are looking on Instagram for an idealized standard of beauty that requires a lot of makeup. Those are not the faces of what real women look like.

When asked how she’d feel about doing more risque photo shoots, she admitted she wouldn’t mind baring it all for photography’s sake. “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 T.V. I love nudity! I’ve brought a lot of exotic entertainers on the show, so I love my body and I’ve got curves. I’m a mother of two children, so I’m not perfect, but I have no problem getting naked.”

But even with the new modeling contract, Phaedra is still in the business of burying bodies. She went on to discuss her career as a mortician and how she’s passionate about every venture she’s involved in. “Being a mortician is a passion of mine and everything I’m passionate about I just dive right in. This is our peak season actually, the peak season from deaths is from Halloween to around Valentine’s Day, so we’re very busy — people are going to glory pretty regularly. I’m directing a few funerals this weekend. I know it’s morbid, but I love being the final party planner.”

Congratulations to Phaedra Parks!
