Nicolette Godiva, born
Aysha Pennington is one of the most successful well rounded urban models to date. At the age of twenty-three, Nicolette Godiva is busy. Born in Jacksonville, NC and raised in Westwood, New Jersey, she is a student at
Montclair State University majoring in
Broadcasting Communications while working part time for
Hip Hop Publicist Lynn Hobson and pursuing her career as a Model.
“As a Broadcasting Major, I accepted as job as a Photography Assistant with a New Jersey based Photographer”, says Ms. Godiva who has been modeling for the past two years. “I then became extremely intrigued with the entire process and preparation it took for models to even step in front of the camera. I became curious and so tried it”.
Never looking back, Nicolette Godiva decided to take modeling seriously. “I love being in front of the camera. I figured it would be great to make a career out of something I do enjoy. What I love most about modeling is interacting with everyone on set. From the Photographers, Make Up Artists, and Hair Stylists, I just am in awe of the whole “Before & After” of it all”.
Nicolette lets us in on what her unique style is that sets her apart from the norm. "My signature style is very 1950s fashion. I love the whole era from the music to the fashion to film. My biggest influence of the 1950s is noted actress Dorothy Dandridge. As a black woman, in that time period, she conquered all odds and thrived. No one could do it like her."
When asked why the name Nicolette Godiva, she states, “I decided to coin the moniker Nicolette Godiva because Nicolette is pretty and sensual. Godiva is sweet and chocolate like me”. With her petite frame almond colored eyes, and curvaceous style, work has really started to gravitate to her.
