Dionne Walters- Fashion Model

When Dionne Walters  went to  a model call and interview in Montgomery Alabama for Tyra Banks America’s Top Model television show, she received a call saying that they wanted her to come to Atlanta for a call back.  She went there and met the casting director Michelle Mock, needless to say she beat out 13,000 other aspiring young ladies to be one of the 13 chosen to appear on cycle 8 of the television show in Los Angeles.  During her stint on Top Model she walked the runway for designers in Australia and she shot a  National print ad for Keds Shoes while building her portfolio.  Since making it to the top four of Cycle 8 Dionne has returned to Montgomery to lend her time and experience to many great projects, fashion shows and events that raise awareness for several civic and social organizations.
