Born in Atlanta, raised in Ghana, West Africa. Don’t be fooled, Cecilia Erskine isn’t just another beautiful face gracing the covers and pages of today’s top magazines; she’s a starlet in the making. http://img9.modelmayhem.com/070722/21/46a41209b18c6_m.jpg

Cecilia began taking pictures, looking up modeling jobs, attending casting calls and hoping for callbacks.

The West African beauty’s determination and optimism paid off in no time, or maybe it was her stunning wide eyes and smooth complexion. Whatever it was, Cecilia has solidified her position in the modeling world. Working professionally for the past two years, she had appeared in magazines and films, as well as stopping into recording studios along the way.

Style Q Magazine and Passions Magazine have had the privilege of placing Cecilia on their pages, and if readers of Essence, Vibe and Ebony magazines happen to be thumbing through the glossies in the next few months they will get a chance to see her at work. It’s without question though, that her silky cocoa complexion and sleek black tresses were the forces that got her on the cover of Avlon Hair Products’ magazine.

Cecilia has also stepped her way onto movie sets appearing in “Home Coming,” where she played a barber and “Closer Cut” as a prostitute. She doesn’t let any opportunity on the road to stardom pass her by — she even opts for the smaller roles like a girl walking in the park in MTV’s film “Miracle Boys.”

The budding luminary is proving that she’s more than a piece of eye candy as she pours herself into heartfelt lyrics and lays down tracks in recording studios.

It’s hard to believe Cecilia could possibly fit anything else into her hectic schedule, but she manages to catch up on reading as she works towards a bachelor’s degree in education. She even puts in tireless hours at Gymboree as a teacher.

When QConf asked her if she would consider modeling as a full time job, Cecilia didn’t hesitate with the answer.
“Definitely! Tyra, Naomi, and Heidi get paid thousands to walk the runway,” Cece said. “I know it will be hard work, but I am an achiever, and it is something I am willing to work at.”
