Carre Otis
I had dropped out of school and was a runaway, so I didn't have family to fall back on if I didn't work. I didn't have a lot of other options of making money other than modeling.
Carre Otis

Carre Otis
I've found that balance is key. I'm no longer an extremist in any one direction.
Carre Otis

Carre Otis
But life inevitably throws us curve balls, unexpected circumstances that remind us to expect the unexpected. I've come to understand these curve balls are the beautiful unfolding of both karma and current.
Carre Otis
Life is full of change and uncertainty. We know this. We experience it on a daily basis.
Carre Otis
