One thing we can tell you is that it’s not easy to find a Male Model. Even more than that, it's not easy to find a Male Supermodel with the physical, academic, motivation and drive and social affluence such as Supermodel Emmanuel Dixon. On a Friday afternoon in Houston Texas, we at VEDA Magazine had the honor and privilege to do a photoshoot with him. He was just as excited as we were; and he stated that he had taken time out before the shoot to read our magazine and was excited about the topics we covered and how the articles were delivered. We can really appreciate that coming from someone as notable as Emmanuel Dixon.
Born in what is known in America as “Motor City” (Detroit Michigan), he shared with VEDA Magazine that as a child he had to move around a lot from city to city which included Atlanta GA and Washington D.C. If Emanuel Dixon is not running Houston’s Chevrons 26-mile marathon right after taking an international vacation, giving public speeches, or engaging in providing consultations for businesses and private individuals, he’s either in the boxing gym or ripping the runway of an international fashion show. As a point of reference, he recently “walked” for Dexterity Talent’s “A Night In Paris” fashion show, as well as for “Summer Sizzle" in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Even more than that at the age of 26 years old, Emmanuel Dixon is a Fitness Coach/Trainer, Entrepreneur, Published Author, Motivational Speaker, and Mentor.
What we enjoyed most about Emmanuel Dixon as a Supermodel was that he had a great attitude. Moreover, we like the fact that he didn’t try to be more than what he was – and believe us when we tell you he is well worth his weight in gold. Furthermore, he has a fantastic personality and is very welcoming to working with people on projects pertaining to modeling and fashion. Two things here. It is worthy to note that when it comes to projects, Emmanuel Dixon is a Mechanical Engineer and Senior Project Manager for a Fortune 500 Tech Company. When asked how he got into the Professional Modeling Industry he stated:
“Modeling kind of sprung upon me. One day a agency reached out to me for a potential opportunity to model in New York Fashion Show in September of 2022. It was never in my vision to model if you asked me a year ago, but now that I am here I want to do my very best at it like anything else in my life. So at this point it is a foot on gas pedal mentality with one of my goals being to be in a Nike commercial or on a billboard in a store. From New York fashion week modeling has really taken off for me. It is crazy to think that I have been published in Forbes Magazine, Fox News, and even being a part of a Paramount produced television series. My 15 year old self would be so proud and that is what I keep in mind each day as I try to progress my life by God’s will.”
Moreover, you should also know that Emmanuel Dixon has appeared in several film projects as noted above and has walked the runway of over 50 fashion shows and has received over 28 sponsorships and brand deals. In addition to that, he has been in multiple commercial shoots, editorials to now include VEDA Magazine, and commercial prints and advertisements. When he is not managing engineering projects as a Project Manager or slaying runways, he’s providing fitness consultations to men and women as well as developing other entrepreneurs. We know that this is a lot, but we must also inform you that he is an accomplished Boxer. We loved the way he looked during his training session at the Floyd Mayweather Boxing Gym in Houston Texas as he demonstrated candidly his power, prowess, and skills.
When asked how and why he got into Boxing, he stated that as a child he was bullied and picked on (which we simply couldn’t believe). So, what started out as him learning the art of boxing to defend himself, it ended up becoming an outlet for him to not only learn discipline and hone his fighting ability, but it soon simply became a way for him to relax and enjoy the rigorous and physically demanding exercises that the contact sport of Boxing had to offer. Indeed, all of that paid off. During our recent conversation, Mr. Dixon recalled as a child:
“[paraphrasing] I remember another student stepped in pee and proceeded to take his shoe off and wipe it on my shirt. There was another time when a student used shoelaces to choke me out in the hallway between classes at one of the 4 high schools I attended.”
But Emmanuel Dixon didn’t let the bullies of his day stop him from being an exceptional high achiever. After graduating from high school, he went to the University of Maryland (College Park) and studied both Mechanical Engineering and Information Science while minoring in Women’s Studies. Mr. Dixon went on to recount having to work 4 jobs to help pay for his higher education at the University of Maryland. But the hard work really paid off. While he was in college, he obtained the opportunity to become a mentor to high school students, and since then has delivered speeches to 1,000’s of high school students and in doing so he inspired those students to not only to be the best that they can be in their personal lives but to obtain higher education and to understand the importance of time management, discipline, and hard work.
To augment the inspirational and motivational talks he’s delivered to 1,000’s of high school students, he created his own fitness and motivational app. When it comes to personal coaching, Mr. Dixon provides personal and life coaching to males across America by creating guided workouts, meal guides, and a group support channel called “The Wolf Pack” in which the goal of the app is to increase male health, personal growth and development, self-awareness, and confidence. This is something that is very much needed amongst men in America because so many men are suffering in silence when it comes to tackling the often-lonely road of manhood. Within the “The Wolf Pack” app, men from all walks of life can obtain life tips and opportunities for mentorship.
Speaking on being motivation, Dixon made it a point to reaffirm the following:
“While most people may assume and think of his established brand at first glance “The Problem One” is something negative, he actually represents a[n] extremely positive influence in the community by encouraging others to go against the norms of society and strive to be the best versions of themselves. That life is [like] a movie and you as the Director must create the best movie you can possibly imagine. Set a vision and dream for your life and go after it with every mustard seed of strength you have day by day. Nobody is coming… you have to recognize that where you are in life is due to the decisions, habits, and actions you take day by day.”
Supermodel Emmanuel Dixon is a remarkable young man that represents the highest definition of a supermodel – which is “someone to look up to and or ascribe to”. He easily serves as an inspiration to anyone that either needs someone to look up to or to serve as a representation of what they could achieve in their lives if they decided to buckle down, focus, and concentrate on the outcomes that they want for their lives, and work both hard and strategically to get it. Many people around the country often look at our younger generation with dismay and get discouraged for one reason or another. With a younger generation consisting of young adults like Supermodel and Business Consultant Emmanuel Dixon within their ranks, he sure projects a positive light on them and gives them a trifecta consisting of hope, direction, and optimism. And you know what? We can all use someone like Emmanuel Dixon in our lives.
