In this story, America’s Next Top Model Alumni Mame Adjei and Keith Carlos channels their inner Naomi Campbell and Tyson Beckford as interstellar beings that descended down to earth. Both personalities are stars paving their own paths with bright light that shines from them. 

Who is Keith right now? How would you describe your current state of your career right now?

Keith is a visionary, creator, model, actor, aspiring business mogul. I'm humbly a rising star. I already have many achievements under my belt. However there are levels of success.  I'm financially, mentally, and physically healthy as I've ever been.  I'm continuously blessed with many opportunities that I'm learning to take advantage of. 

Who is Mame right now? How would you describe your current state of your career right now?

This point in my career feels very promising. I have been blessed with many opportunities in modeling and acting, since I moved out to LA this past year, and have even been stealthily diving more and more into acting as I have been able to discover my love for the craft. I recently filmed a great commercial in Mexico City for Corona Light, and another for Lexus. I am seeing myself more and more in stores, on products, on billboards, and in print; and I am utterly amazed at God for these experiences. It's somewhat surreal still.

I am now constantly learning and growing and working on myself spiritually, mentally, and physically to become the best 'me' possible. I guess you could say that I am in a transitional phase in my life and career where I am gaining a beautiful awareness of the level of consciousness required, to go the places that I want to go in my life, and I am working toward that each day. 

If you're gonna have a book, what title would you give it and why?

KEITH:
The title of my Book I am in the process of writing is title #maKEITHappen (Make It Happen) I chose this title not only does it describe the story of my life but my name is in the middle of it. Life is a about results and I had to make it happen with the warn out tools I was given. So I want to inspire others to do the same and not give up no matter how rugged their road is. 
 

If you're gonna have a book, what title would you give it and why?
 

MAME: 
The title of my book would be: Everything Happens for a Reason, because I firmly believe in that principle. No one that you meet, or comes into your life is by pure chance.

There is a divine force that orchestrates the occurrences in ones life to provide for them, all of the things that they need in order to fulfill their purpose/dreams. I really believe that all,of your experiences, trials and tribulations were to get you ready for what's to come. Everything happens for a reason, surely

If you will be given the chance and opportunity to help a specific charity, what would it be and why?

KEITH:
If I could help a specific charity it would be my own. I'm a huge advocate for woman troubled youth empowerment. Because I come from a single parent home I've seen my mother, grandmother, sister all #maKEITHappen on their own with scraps. My mom even lost her freedom and was incarcerated to ensure my siblings and I was living a decent life. So I will encourage all to #maKEITHappen.  

If you had the chance and opportunity to help a specific charity, what would it be and why?

MAME:

I would totally want to help a women's empowerment or youth empowerment group or charity. I myself am working on my own nonprofit for young women to help them realize their dreams and show them how to actively pursue them. I want to help them further realize that they are capable of literally doing anything that they want in this world, despite their situational circumstances. Overall though, I am an advocate for girls and the youth's Access to education and justice.
