Hello, my name is Tarika Holland, my artist name is Is0lated Beauty, and I am an artist based in Augusta, GA. My talents range from dance, spoken word and poetry, acting and modeling. I have the absolute honor of attending the Coco Rocha Modeling Camp in New York City.

I started modeling as a way to combat my insecurities and build confidence. What started off as me just propping up my cell phone and getting comfortable with my looks and body later turned into me being noticed by photographers in my city to capture me in my element. I started modeling to convince myself that I was beautiful, but now I model because I know that I am beautiful. Modeling has recently led me to modeling for brands and now an opportunity of a lifetime to be trained by the one and only Coco Rocha in New York City. I came across Coco and this camp on Tik Tok and Instagram and was so moved by how interactive and hands on the experience was, how the camp would sculpt me into not just a better model, but a business woman as well. I saw how the camp would educate me about the history of modeling and its evolution to where we are today. I took a chance, applied a few weeks later, and I was approved by Coco Rocha herself to come to New York City to attend the camp!

This four day camp will teach me in depth:
- Dynamic posing
- Photo movement
- The art of emoting
- Branding for models
- Social media strategy
- Dealing with agencies
- Negotiating with clients
- Industry pitfalls to avoid
- Signature runway walks
- Expectations vs. Reality
There will also be a mentored photoshoot, and all models receive 2 high quality beauty and editorial images for our modeling portfolio. All meals and lodging is covered for the 4 day and 3 night stay. The total cost for the camp is approximately $2,695, and I’ve rounded up to $3,000 for travel costs which will be via flight.
As a newly full time artist finding her way and navigating these waters, I would greatly appreciate your donations or even sharing this campaign to your platforms. This is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity that I’m certain will be transformative, and I will learn so much that I’ll carry with me for the rest of my artistic journey. I wasn’t able to attend the camp right away because of the timing, but I told her team to give me 6 months. My goal is to attend the camp the second half of 2023. Here are some additional ways that you can support me:
- Share this campaign to your platforms.
- Book me to perform at or for any show, event, or gig. Once again, my talents range from dance, spoken word and poetry, acting, and modeling. For inquiries, contact me.
- Purchase a copy of my first book, “Through the Eyes of Is0lated Beauty,” on Amazon.
I thank you all in advanced for your help, I’m grateful that my talents are leading me to places I once only dreamed of, and I can’t wait to attend this camp and my work becomes a reflection of what I learned and how much I grow. Thank you, I appreciate it, and as always stay tuned.
Much love,
