I very seldom sponsor people or organizations I have not interacted with in person, but I met an exceptional lady via social media and started learning about her and the organization she runs. Her name is Kerri Parker, and her accomplishments that you may know about are numerous—acting, modeling, winning titles like Miss April 2019 on the cover of Playboy, and so much more. She has received numerous awards, been through hell, and come out victorious.

What first captured my attention wasn’t her résumé or magazine covers, but her story—a story of fierce resilience. Kerri has battled brain cancer and epilepsy and won. She is a living example of grace under pressure, of not letting a diagnosis define your destiny.

For the past two years, I’ve had the immense honor of being an official sponsor of her events and her remarkable organization: The Kerri Parker Academy (KPA). Honestly, it has been the most fulfilling sponsorship I’ve ever taken on. Let me be 100% transparent—this is, to my current knowledge, not a non-profit organization. But the value, impact, and transformation it provides to aspiring models is absolutely priceless.

A Global Connection

I’ve never met Miss Parker in person—yet. She’s based in England while I’m here in California, just outside of Hollywood. But the miles between us haven’t stopped a powerful connection from forming. With her packed schedule and growing presence, I know it's just a matter of time before we meet face-to-face. Until then, our collaboration continues to thrive across time zones, proof of how powerful and borderless digital community building can be.

What is the Kerri Parker Academy?

The Kerri Parker Academy is not just a modeling school—it’s a movement. It provides genuine, industry-grade training to those who are serious about entering the modeling world. Unlike other programs that rely on generic online lessons, KPA offers mentorship from someone who’s lived it, worked it, and earned respect in the field.

Kerri’s unique perspective as a model, actress, and public figure gives students a rare chance to gain insight from a woman who’s successfully walked the walk—red carpets and runways included.

The Academy offers online classes, private coaching, and hands-on workshops, making it accessible for students across the globe. And with a founder as hands-on and authentic as Kerri, it’s not just about looking good—it's about building confidence, resilience, and lasting self-worth.

Breaking the Mold, Beautifully

Kerri’s story is not typical, and that’s exactly why she resonates with so many. She didn’t have it easy. She didn’t have it handed to her. Her life included hospital stays, painful recoveries, and overwhelming odds—but she rose. Kerri broke into a notoriously difficult industry with intelligence, wit, and sheer will.

One of the most compelling things about Kerri is how she uses her platform. Yes, she’s graced magazine covers, but she’s also spoken openly about using medical cannabis to help survive terminal brain cancer, a topic she’s discussed in interviews like this one in The Sun:

That kind of candor and transparency makes her not just a role model in fashion but in life.

Why I Support Her

In a world full of hollow influencer culture, Kerri is refreshingly real. She’s not selling a dream; she’s helping others build one.

Supporting the Kerri Parker Academy is about so much more than photoshoots and poses. It’s about giving people—especially women—a path toward self-confidence, financial independence, and authentic self-expression. The modeling world can be brutal, but with the right guide, it can also be liberating.

Kerri is that guide. She’s walked the hard path so others can run toward their futures.

The KPA Experience

Students and graduates from KPA consistently talk about how transformative the program is. Some are now published models. Others have gained agency representation or gone on to work in film and television. But it’s not just about fame. It’s about empowerment.

From runway prep to posing confidence, portfolio building to behind-the-scenes strategy, KPA demystifies the modeling industry while supporting students emotionally, mentally, and professionally.

As a sponsor, I’ve had the privilege of watching these success stories bloom. And as someone invested in people more than profit, that’s a reward that money simply can’t buy.

Looking Ahead

I look forward to finally meeting Kerri in person, but for now, I’m just honored to know and support her. Whether it’s through social media updates, Academy news, or inspirational posts from Kerri herself, the message is always clear:

You are more than your setbacks. You are your comeback.

If you're a model looking for guidance, or simply someone seeking a little inspiration, I encourage you to check out the Kerri Parker Academy and see what this incredible woman is doing for the next generation of dreamers.
