“Born in the Dominican Republic and raised in NYC since age 10, model Omahyra now lives and works on her art in Miami. She is a humanitarian with a passion to give back to the world, enriching the culture through words and visual art. We caught up with her recently for an exclusive BlackBook interview, which also included this provocative shoot by photographer NELSON Castillo. During our conversation, we got inside the mind of the runway icon, painter and veteran of such movies as X-Men: Last Stand and After the Sunset—we were not disappointed.”
