Welcome to MAXIM, Willow. Tell us a bit more about yourself.
I’m from Winston-Salem, North Carolina U.S.A. and I was an athlete my whole life until I got scouted to be a model at 15. A year after that I graduated and started travelling for my modelling career and I’ve since worked with so many amazing brands and people. I’m so incredibly grateful for the life I’ve been blessed with. Coming from a broken home it was hard at times but having the opportunities I’ve now had, in a career I’m so passionate about, has given me the best life I could possibly imagine. I love life.
What do you love most about yourself?
There’s a hard tie between my sense of humour and my cooking. I can make anything in the kitchen. It may not be the prettiest but you’ll get seconds for sure! I grew up in a bakery and watching [US TV chef] Paula Deen, so my main ingredients are love and butter. I cook for happiness not for health. After all, they do say the fastest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.
What’s your guilty pleasure?
Pasta! I make a super-rich Alfredo and it definitely would be my last meal if I had to have one. It’s probably 2,000 calories but it’s so good that I don’t care.
Do you have a hidden talent?
