INTRODUCING RAFFIE PIERRILUS

INTRODUCING RAFFIE PIERRILUS

Raffie is a Haitian-Canadian model, born and raised in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Modeling has always been a dream for Raffie, as she feels most confident when being observed and in front of the camera. Despite a challenging childhood, she is pursuing her dream to honor the 10 years old Raffie who would be happy with the change that she’s creating. She is motivated by her mother, who is everything to her. She is passionate about fashion and literature, and while she hopes to become a lawyer, her wildest dream is to pose for Vogue and Chanel. She’s also a strong supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement, and one of the reasons she is pursuing a legal career is to defend and be the voice of many people who have been silenced. She describes herself as an extraverted introvert, comfortable being alone but unafraid to stand out and prove herself.
