Last cycle, the girls of America’s Next Top Model did a photo shoot in which they portrayed homeless youth, which featured 3 [random] models in the background. One model in particular caught the eye of the shows creator/executive producer Tyra Branks…Isis. She served it as a background model, leaving a lasting impression. Isis, 22, was personally invited by Tyra to come back for the 11th cycle. But, there was one thing that Tyra wasn’t aware of concerning Isis…. she’s a he! As the first transgender contestant to appear on America’s Next Top Model, Isis is here to break the mold of the average, and take it to another level. Â
Isis, real name Darrell Washington, hails from my home town of Prince Geroge’s Country, Maryland, an aspiring model, she is also an aspiring fashion designer.  She now resides in New York City.
Best of luck to Isis on the upcoming season of America’s Next Top Model, premiering September 3rd on the CW.
