Maddy: I heard you are going to school pursuing a law degree. What type of law will you be practicing?

Jordan:  I am wrapping up my 2^nd year of law school as we speak. My concentration so far has been in Community Economic Development but I will be doing a Health Law concentration in the fall.

 

Maddy: At the shoot for this month's issue, you brought beautiful scarves from Ethiopia to the set. Can you tell us about your passion for helping local artist in Ethiopia and how your business will impact your passion for it?

 

Jordan: While the scarves are from Ethiopia my family is actually from Eritrea, and I was born in Italy. I wanted to find a way to help protect handmade craftsmanship while providing a fair wage for local artisans. Tesfay Textiles has been my way of encouraging business development in Africa while providing people a unique and beautiful product.

 

Maddy: You are in excellent shape; do you follow a specific health regimen?

 

Jordan: Thank you. I try and cook as often as possible using natural ingredients from my local famers market. I also run and do Yoga a few times a week.

 

Maddy: The modeling industry is very different now, what advice do you have for aspiring models?

 

Jordan: Be patient, stay grounded, appreciate every job and save your money.

 

Maddy: What do you like most about being a model?

 

Jordan: Being surrounded by creative people.

 

Maddy: How do you feel about the Curvy Revolution people say we are currently in?

 

Jordan: I think it's great. There are so many beautiful models that are finally getting the attention they deserve.
