How were you discovered?
Well I wasn’t exactly “discovered” I took all sorts of lessons and classes since the age of 5 and my first modeling photo shoot I was 8 years old.
Observers can see from your portfolio the progression you have made as a model; can you tell us where you have improved and what you have learned?
You learn with every photo shoot you do and grow in your craft. Working with experienced photographers I’ve learned from them: better posing, positioning and facial expressions. Also you get higher quality and better images.
Your features are outstanding and natural, beautiful face, skin, shape, and just an overall unique look. I’m sure you get asked often to explain your heritage but where do the curves and features come from and how do you stay in shape?
I am a mixed Latina from a Cuban & Spanish father and Puerto Rican mother and born in the NYC. I guess a good combination of my parents genes made me! Lol. I used to stay in shape easily when I was a trained dancer. Now I go to the gym and work out my entire body several times a week. It’s important to take care of your body and to stay active.
How have you been able to balance your daily life and occupation with modeling and what keeps you grounded?
It’s a balancing act when you do a lot of different things like I do. All you can do is stay organized and professional and do the best you can. Just handle your business and prioritize.
What kind of modeling or work do you enjoy the most?
I think honestly for me my favorite was Pageantry and Promotional modeling because it involves all of you and how u present yourself and speak. But I enjoy everything actually, there’s pros and cons in everything.
Your resume continues to grow, please tell our readers some of the work you have completed and where they have seen and will see you?
I’ve come out in Sweets Magazine Issue #13, I have a 6 page spread there and I have come out in the first print edition of Gorgeous Magazine. I’ve done some more music videos such as Lloyd Banks ft. Lloyd “Any Girl”. I hope to finally get my personal website up: http://www.JeniceMarie.com. I have more magazine features coming out soon and to continue to bigger and better things!
You were the first model KUSH chose as a Kushion, the 1st guest ever on Kush Radio and our first collaboration with you turns out being a shoot for Sweets Mag, tell us what you think has made you a hot commodity?
Well first off Thank you and I am much honored to be your first! Aww I’m not such a hot commodity – yet, LOL. There are things that I am happy about what I have done and am doing but I have a ways to go. I’m proud of my accomplishments and that people are eager to work with me.
You are intelligent and beautiful and as a model expected to be confident, but can you tell us about a time during your modeling career when you were nervous and how you dealt with it?
I am always a little nervous! It’s to exude confidence even when internally you are a unsure, that’s only natural. You’ve just got to take a deep breath and do it and not be afraid or upset to hear a no or something you don’t want to. It happens many times in this game, you just got to take it with grace and move on to the next.
People would be surprised to know that ___________?
That I am a NJ state EMT.
What is the best advice you have received since you began your modeling career?
Don’t be afraid to listen and grow from constructive criticism. Learn from all of your experiences, good and the bad. And that you’ll hear a lot of No’s more then Yes’s, don’t let that get to you or take it too personal.
You’ve got front row tickets to see your favorite artist. Who is it and why?
It would have to be Lady Gaga. I am dying to see a live performance of hers. She is so creative and different. She embodies truly what it is to be an artist. I really like her as a person and performer.
Your favorite getaway spot?
Anywhere quiet desolate with a beach, many Caribbean islands I enjoy.
How does Hip Hop music impact your daily life and your work? What is your favorite song of the moment?
I love hip hop music and pretty much I like something in every genera of music. Music is the soundtrack of my life; it’s a big part of me. One of my favorite songs of the moment is Jamie Foxx ft. Drake “Fall for your type”.
24 hours to do whatever Jenice wants, wherever Jenice wants to be, where and what do we find you doing?
LOL, makes me think of the song “24 hours to live”. Hmmm I would run amuck and try to accomplish in that time what I want to before I die. I’d be mostly with friends and family saying goodbye and preparing for the next life.
When and what makes you feel beautiful and sexy?
Simply just being happy.
What’s the craziest thing a fan/admirer has done to get your attention?
I’ve had some wierdos harass me. I try to be nice but nothing to crazy or out of had thank God.
Who have you enjoyed working with the most? And name someone you would love to work with?
A photographer who I really enjoy working with is C.E Wiley. He’s been a great friend and mentor and most importantly he is very professional when it comes to working. I also really like the shoot I did with MJ Flix, I love his work and would definitely work with him again. I really admire and love Maya Guez’s art. I am dying to work with her, she is amazing. And there are many other photographers that I look forward to be working with in the future as well.
What should we expect to see you doing in the near future?
Who knows sky is the limit! I am open to whatever opportunities that come my way and to make the best of it!
Any parting words or people you would like to thank?
Thanks always to Kush for all the love!

Welcome Back Brittany !!! Since we last featured you on http://www.iamkush.com what have you been up to?
Thank you for having me back! I’ve actually been pretty busy. I’ve done a few videos with some more on the way. Three that are out right now are “ Till it all falls down “ Jada; “ Face 2 Face “ Cassidy and “Any Girl “ Lloyd Banks & Lloyd. Shot for Getem Magazine’s Model Issue which will be out on stands this September! So keep an eye out for that. And hosting some parties are also in the works. And working on launching my website! Just grindin’ really hard.
Beauty and Brains, you are more than just a model/vixen, tell us about some of your other ventures?
Most people don’t know this, but I have a full time job in television. Post production/broadcast for 8 of the largest television networks in the country! Along with that I’m working on my website Brittanydasani.com which is coming along beautiful, I can’t wait for you guys to see it!
You have an outstanding hourglass figure, where do the curves come from and how do you stay in shape?
I’m Italian and Portuguese so I guess I could thank my genes. I eat everything under the sun, don’t diet, don’t work out too too much. I think my metabolism is just really good, surprising for my age. It’s going to catch up to me so I’ve definitely fallen back on the junk food and started paying better attention to my health though.
Which of your features attract the most attention? And what’s the best compliment you’ve heard?
My butt, chest & eyes. The best compliment isn’t necessarily something people have said to me; I find it most humbling when people actually take time out to search for my work, message me about how excited they are for my website etc. Those are things that matter because as a model you need to have a good solid fan base because there are so many of us out here. Knowing I have followers is a compliment in itself.
What kind of shoots/work do you enjoy the most? I’d have to say urban/glamour.
I like well themed shoots. I’m big on making sure my vision along with the photographers vision is well portrayed through our images.
Tell us when you feel beautiful and what makes you feel that way…
Honestly, when I’m in sweats and a hoody or a Juicy suit. If you can be comfortable with yourself outside of mini dresses and heels, that’s a good thing.
Everyone needs a Kushion in their life, tell us about your soft side and what makes you a Kushion?
Ughh I’m one big kushion! I’m a relationship girl, I’m very giving and loving, faithful and dedicated to whomever I’m with. I feel incomplete if I don’t have another half to give my all to. So I’d have to say LOVE makes me all kushy!
Your features are natural and some ladies want the look you have, how do you feel about ladies that choose surgery to imitate?
You know whats funny? Is that there are so many girls that I just recently found out about, in the industry that get the a** injections to make them more marketable. I just shake my head. Work with what you have, some chicks have fatter a**es than others… so squat and eat a burger! Some chicks have bigger boobs than others… who cares. If you really feel the need to get surgery that’s on you… I’m good with my body!
Do you have any tattoos or piercings? And if so what do your tattoos mean or say?
No tats yet, I definitely want one though. Not sure yet what I want. I have my ears and my belly pierced.
Your beauty can easily be intimidating, but have you ever been afraid/nervous before a shoot? If so why?
Nope! I love shooting, it’s the best way for me to express myself.
People would be surprised to know that ___________?
I’m not really as girly as I come off! I’m a fiend for sneakers. I love hoodies and pony tails! Ohhh and, I burp better then most guys I know!
Your idea of relaxing is?
Being on vacation somewhere warm, no phone, no business, no work… just play!
You’ve got front row tickets to see your favorite artist. Who is it and why?
Hmmm, either Eminem, Banks or Nu Jerzey Devil… those are the only 3 in the industry I really follow. I feel like they’ve set their own career path’s. Different in many ways then other mainstream artists. Their still hungry and passionate. Jerz is newer so he’s definitely passionate and you can hear it in his voice when he talks about it.
Your favorite getaway spot?
I’d have to say either Miami or Vegas.
How does Hip Hop music impact your daily life and your work? Whats your favorite song of the moment?
I mean, seeing as though that’s the market I’ve fallen into, I’d have to say it impacts my daily life tremendously, but by any means don’t depend on the next video or whatever. I have a look that can easily be taken to another market. Plus it keeps me awake in my car when I’m working all crazy shifts! My favorite song… I’d have to say Any girl or 25 to life.
What are your turnons?
Strong, independent, faithful men. I hate someone who thinks their so much better than others, or myself. Don’t try and be something your not. Love a man who can dress also.
What are your turnoffs?
Liars, cheaters & deceivers. I hate game players and can’t stand when guys have nasty long nails. What’s the deal with that?
What’s the craziest thing a fan/admirer has done to get your attention?
People have told me they love me. They want to make love to me and marry me. Creepy but, those are the people who are going to make me money…
Who have you enjoyed working with the most?
And name someone you would love to work with? So far, I’ve had great experiences with everyone I’ve worked with. From artists, to models, to photographers etc. But I will say, the whole G-unit fam… love them! Very down to earth, artists to managers all of them are great people and I’m happy they have become a part of my life.
The most sensual shoot you’ve ever done and what made it so sexy?
Good question, I’d have to say every shoot I do I try to portray some sensuality! I do have a shoot coming up and I think it’s gonna top all my others!
Can you name a place that you would love to do a shoot? And what would be the theme?
Ugh, if I could shoot anywhere… It’d be Tuscany. The theme would be of old vintage but sexy feeling.
What should we expect to see you doing in the near future?
More videos, hosting, magazines, my website… I’m gonna be all over the place!
Any parting words or people you would like to thank?
Again, thank you my kushes for having me as part of your movement. And to everyone out there who’s supported me from the start. There are a lot of times where I wonder if this grind is really worth it… you guys make me realize it is. X0X0
