Annie Borgard
On New Years Eve of 1988 in Port-au-Prince Haiti a
little girl was born, her older brother Giscard Borgard who was 5yrs old at
that time named her Annie, she was definitely a very happy baby. When Annie
turned two her mother (Guerling Borgard) found an opportunity to come to the US
to give her son and daughter a better life, but she didn’t get to see her again
till she turned 17yrs old. She was raised by her grand mother and uncles. For
school she attended Mickey Mouse kindergarten and College Roger A. Anglade
(from 1st to 11th grade). Before graduating at the age of 17 it was her turn to
come to the US, but because of the FCAT she was placed in the 10th
at Miami Edison Sr high. She is currently a student at Miami Dade College studying International Relations and Foreign Languages. How did Modeling came along you may ask?? A girlfriend took her to a photo shoot, the photographer offered her a test shoot that She gladly accepted, one of the pictures was later posted on his site where an advisor from a modeling training program
|
known as John Casablanca’s contacted her to join the program. She attended the school for six weeks and graduated in August 2011. While learning a few things about the fashion industry she became a bit discouraged because people would tell her she could not go far being a mere 5’5. But that only motivated her and she decided that she didn't want to just be A MODEL she wanted to make a difference.
She wanted to use modeling to help make a difference and realize her dreams, and if that could become a reality she could not ask for more. One of her dreams is to help inspire young girls struggling with life's ups and downs and show them that there is another option; that they can accomplish anything they put their mind to, no matter what anyone has to say. So far she has had the opportunity of walking in one of Miami’s biggest shows during Miami fashion week, also Jazz in the Garden, several charity shows, promotional work, black history events (Design nation) and is currently working on her 2nd portfolio, fan page (Annie Borgard Model ) and website ( Annieborgard.net).

Expect to see much more from her in the future as she continues to represent her culture, and watch as she strives to be an example to all the beautiful young women looking for a way out, something to be proud of, a way of making a better life and motivating others to do the same.
