BIO:
“It is truly an honor and a privilege to be crowned the 2021 Face of America title. I would like to take this time to thank my family, friends, and all of America for your generosity and empowerment. I also want to thank NBP Cosmetics for this amazing opportunity. Without you none of this would be possible and for that, I am forever and profoundly grateful. I never imagined that one of my dreams would come to pass, especially now! No matter what I tried to be in this world, the desire to become an actress and model never left my soul. Two years ago, I introduced myself to the world of entertainment as Jade Kay Harvey. When I was young I became inspired by models like Tyra Banks and Naomi Campbell. I wanted to be a role model to other young girls just as they were to me. I do not know what lies ahead of me, but I pray that my future is bright. It is my hope that my story will inspire the next person to never give up on themselves or their dreams. Whatever you aspire to be in this world you can be.” — Jade Kay Harvey WHOS IS JADE KAY?
