What got you into modeling?
Modeling was something I never imagined myself doing growing up. Over the years, I’ve been told that I have the look to become a male model, so I gave it a try. After giving it a taste, I can honestly say it’s something I enjoy doing. It’s something I want to go full throttle for in the near future.

How do you stay in peak shape? What’s your workout and diet regime?
My current diet consists of minimally processed whole foods with lots of protein. I workout 6 days a week to build and maintain my physique.

What does self care look like for Mark? (We love to encourage our readers to take part in self care)
For me self care is huge! I try my best to take care of myself spiritually, physically and mentally. I take care of myself physically through working out and eating the right foods to properly nourish my body. Mentally, I take care of myself by forming healthy relationships and managing stress levels. Spiritually, I’ve been focusing on meditation and prayer.

What is something you wish you knew before getting into modeling? Are There any dos and don’ts you would advise others pursuing it?
Honestly, I’m just starting out myself and there’s a lot I need to learn. I would advise individuals to do their own research and most importantly be yourself. You have to stand out, what makes you unique? Never compare yourself to other people and just have fun with it. 

We are all about black beauty, what does black beauty mean to you?
Black beauty to me is being comfortable in your own skin and realizing that black in itself is beautiful no matter the shape or size. Period.

With a growing fan base and platform, what is something you want your followers to take away from following you on your journey?
You can do anything you put your mind to. Your life can change at any moment! I went from almost 300 pounds to this fit person and completely turned my life around. Whatever you want, you can and will accomplish with proper planning and execution.

Lastly, what’s next for Mark?
There’s a lot I have planned for my future. Especially in the next 6-12 months. Keep me close on your radar, cause I will be the next big thing. Follow my instagram to stay up to date and support. Instagram: iam_markinson._ Tiktok: markinsona
