Victoria’s secret Model Kelsey Marritt talk about her insecurities speaking english at the beginning

Kelsey Merritt just made history as the first Filipino model to ever walk in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

this 22-year-old could not be more excited to join some of the most iconic models by walking across that famous runway in the lingerie spectacular.

While Merritt has landed some key modeling gigs and has grown her social media following, it took a lot of hard work and dedication, according to an interview she gave to The New York Post.

“I wasn’t even with a signed agency, I’d just go to open calls and I’d book runway jobs, then I started doing editorials and it just grew from there. At 15 years old, that was a pretty big deal.”

Kelsey also noted that growing up, “I was insecure because my classmates were so posh. I was never comfortable. Whenever I spoke Filipino, they’d talk back to me in English… I was a little embarrassed about my English because of my accent, but now I know there’s nothing to be embarrassed about.”

Plus, the model is notably the first Filipino model to be represented in the annual Victoria’s Secret fashion show.

She reflected on this, saying that “I feel like this was something I could give back to Filipinos.”
