Tyler, Texas, United States
TAUQILLA MANNING, ALSO KNOWN AS "MS. PRISSY" BY HER MYSPACE FANS, WAS BORN IN MARSHALL, TEXAS IN 1983. MANNING'S PARENTS & YOUNGER BROTHER ARE VERY SUPPORTIVE IN INFLUENCING HER CHOICE TO PURSUE HER DREAMS TO BECOME A PLUS SIZE MODEL IN TODAY'S FASHION INDUSTRY.

AFTER PUTTING HER DREAMS ON THE BACK BURNER FOR MANY YEARS TO PURSUE A CAREER IN THE MEDICAL FIELD, IN 2007 MANNING DECIDED TO FOLLOW HER DREAMS WHEN ONE OF HER MANY STYLISH OUTFITS STOPPED TRAFFIC WHILE ON HER WAY TO A NITE CLUB IN LOUISIANA, WHERE SHE WAS INVITED TO AN OPEN CALL FOR SISTA BIG BONE MODELS FOR ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED PLUS SIZE MODELING EVENTS IN SHREVEPORT, LA.

MANNING WAS THE ONLY PLUS SIZE MODEL REPRESENTING FOR TEXAS & DEVOTED COUNTLESS HOURS OF TRAVELING & PREPARATION FOR THE 2008 SISTA BIG BONE FASHION EXTRAVAGANZA THAT TOOK OVER LOCAL RADIO STATIONS & TV CHANNELS, INCLUDING B.E.T., WHERE SHE WAS CHOSEN AS 1 OF THE 5 OUT OF 25 MODELS TO FILM THE ADVERTISEMENT COMMERCIAL.

SINCE TAUQILLA'S PREVIOUS SUCCESS IN THE 2008 SISTA BIG BONE FASHION EXTRAVAGANZA, SHE HAS BEEN FEATURED AS AN EXTRA IN THE UPCOMING FILM "SOUL MEN" STARRING BERNIE MAC & SAMUEL L. JACKSON & RECEIVES OPPORTUNITIES CONSTANTLY TO PERSUADE HER TO FURTHER HER DREAMS IN THE FASHION INDUSTRY.

ALTHOUGH TAUQILLA PLANS TO TAKE CREDIT FOR HER SUCCESSFUL FUTURE TO COME & NOT ALLOW A MODELING AGENCY TO PAVE HER WAY, SHE ALSO TAKES THE TIME TO INSPIRE & ENCOURAGE OTHER PLUS SIZE WOMEN TO ACCEPT THEMSELVES AS THEY ARE & CONVINCE THEM THAT BEAUTY COMES IN ALL SHAPES & SIZES.
