E929 โ€“ Going Deeper with Lexi Wood

And agents do hold your immigration against you because they sponsor your visa. So even for me, if I didn't do what my agents wanted me to do or fall in line, they would threaten my immigration. So there was like a lot of things. And again, I'm so lucky that I have family support. I had everything. But at the end of the day, they could still take away my immigration at any point.

So that was definitely like a turning point for me a couple years ago when I was like, this is not fair. And I sat down with my immigration lawyer. And then we ended up being able to sponsor my visa without an agency. And then that's when I started working with my mom and sister. We got them visas and everything. I'm just so passionate about making sure that models feel like, no, you have choices.

I feel like I'm so the type of person where I want to put everything under my wing. I'm like, okay, come here, chickens. Let's go. Especially because you can only really ever see where people are coming from if you've been in that position. That's how your brain chemistry literally works. So being able to understand all these young girls and what they're going through.

It's funny because I started an agency with my mom and sister and I'm the guinea pig right now. But that was always the goal. Who knows in the future if we do take on other models and we do actually do ethical practices. It's crazy to think, but who knows that could be something in the future that I would be super passionate about.

Interesting. So I definitely have shot with a lot more women, which has been amazing. I feel like even just we understand how each other like moves in the body and the chemistry. And so that's always great. I've definitely been on set with photographers where they're like, okay, perfect now.

Yeah. Or like the bait and switch where like a client will ask for this happened to me all the time. A client would ask to book me and then they'd be like, oh, Lexi's not available, but you should book this person. And then they'll do it again, like a couple of times just to get a couple more girls in front of them because they know that the client really wanted to book me.

And then finally they'll give them me, even though I was really just sitting at home waiting for people to book me. They do the bait and switch all the time. And I feel like that's another aspect where as like a young person in the industry, you honestly, models don't get enough credit. Sometimes we have to be our own lawyers. We have to own businesses.
