Vibe - Joy Bryant

“While at Yale, she shuttled from New Haven to New York regularly. One day, JJ Cortez, an agent with Next Model Management, saw Bryant at a party and was struck by her all-American beauty - her pronounced cheekbones, fine jawline, slender neck, taut physique, and bright smile. Cortez dogged her to sign with the agency, and in 1994, after her sophomore year, Bryant agreed and dropped out of Yale.”
