Terri credits prayers and being open to God’s voice for the success of her businesses. God’s voice reverberating through her mind, she had no choice but to listen when she had asked. Praying for the right people to work with, and those prayers answered. Her long-time colleagues and friends attended a risqué “Body Positive” segment. There, supporting the full-figured model and entrepreneur. Told she’d have five good people for her deserving success. Immediately Ms. Stevens was blessed to have Lucinda Burroughs and Tomasina King join her in the ever-evolving business.

Her N.C. role involves eight models ranging in ages from 5 to 60. The new reality show is by no means typical. The premise takes these individuals through the process of not only being successful models but event planners too. Parents work with or for the younger ones while everyone gets to experience every aspect of presenting a fashion show. Looks and clothing will be the least challenging.

The lessons learned in this reality show will be eye-opening for the cast and audience alike. Parents and kids akin prepped for endless possibilities after the critical thinking and marketing they’ll master for this presentation. It will take tenacity and talent to endure the fun and pragmatic task ahead. Of course, they’ll be the usual lessons of casting but, each cast member has to hire and hire again. Responsible for ticket sales, DJ, vendors, and videographers. They’ll be Tweeting, Tik-Toking, Instagramming, Facebook, and more to achieve their popularity and overall events. They’ll have to surround themselves with the people that create the look, making them beautiful while applying their management skills to being indoctrinated into the production. A learning experience for any audience as we see who accomplishes the task.

Terri Stevens spends a lot of her time traveling to various locations in the country and is happy things are leaning towards normal after the pandemic.

Ms. Stevens has mottos that are self-explanatory in defining her business savvy and success. Her signature philosophy is if you’re “15 minutes early, you’re too late”. Another is “if you stay ready you don’t have to get ready”.

“Face 2 Face Talent and Modeling Agency’’ and “2 the T Productions and Casting,” operate as a family, and Ms. Stevens stated, “We take care of each other on the runway, off the runway, in front of the camera and behind the camera.” With the upcoming reality show, she and former colleague Sharon Gary Dill of Fashion D’Shacort will go inside the belly of the beast.
