Elissa Bio

My name is Elissa Diaz I'm Puerto Rican , Native & French. Raised in the projects of east NY it wasn't always easy. Every child that lived there went to the same Public school. From k to 6th grade I was tortured, teased, picked on and bullied by the same two girls. After High school I was scouted and I started modeling at 19 years old and I immediately started in fashion runway shows. This is where I started to see the world in a whole new perspective. I am now currently a freelance model, actress, & makeup artist in NYC. I've been published in few magazines as well as event flyer hosting parties. I love giving back to the community and doing the best that I can for children. this is why this movie speaks to me. It feels really amazing to have been casted for this film as it brings great points,and educational value I strongly feel that I can relate to this film due to my past experiences. I dislike to hear kids , or teens still struggling with the battles of everyday cases of being bullied whether it's verbally, physically, or the new era cyber bullying. It's time it all STOPS. By me taking part of this film I'm hoping to reach out to others with similar situations and hopefully help them with self confidence & inner strength. Hopefully together we can make a change!
