Hello & welcome back to The Influencer blog. This week we have a suuuuper exciting feature on Brazilian model, blogger and influencer Danubia Sousa. We caught up on all things modelling in lockdown, while entertaining a 7 month old baby girl and her favourite places to shoot in central London!
Danubia Sousa is a model, influencer and blogger based in London. Her feed is mainly made up of fashion, travel and lifestyle pictures and of course images of her gorgeous baby girl, Mia. Speaking English, Portuguese and Spanish has allowed Danubia to work around the world and work with brands on exciting collaborations.
Danubia has been modelling since she was 14 years old and started in her home of Brazil. At the age of 18 she packed up and moved to London and worked as a nanny for 3 years and before starting modelling full time.
Since then, Danubia has accumulated nearly 30,000 followers on Instagram and participated in competitions such as Elite Model Look and Miss Tourism World. She has also appeared in London fashion week for designers such as Hellavagirl, Fashions Finest and The Lingerie Collective. She has also appeared on the H&M website, been featured on the MailOnline, and had a BBC News article published about her.
Since opening her blog and Instagram, Danubia has been lucky enough to work with some amazing brands, we wanted to know what her personal favourite has been. She said: "My favourite collaborations have to be H&M, Bondi Sands, Pantene UK and PrettyLittleThing.
"I am very blessed as I am always getting so many goodies from brands. I haven't needed to shop for 3 years! My favourite brands include Ted Baker, PrettyLittleThing, Zara, Prada, Louis Vuitton and Yan Neo."
We asked Danubia how COVID-19 has affected how she produces her content, and how she has stayed motivated to shoot content from home while looking after a young baby! She said: "My inspiration is my happy baby girl, who gives me the passion to do what I love, I try to work around her as much as I can and try to show the reality of mum life.
"I have also donated 90% of the money I have earned during lockdown to help people in need, this has included preparing food parcels and helping those who are struggling due to Covid."
As Danubia lives in London, we wanted to hear all about city life and get an idea of influencer life in the Capital. "I absolutely love everything about London, it's my home now. I love shooting here as it has so many different areas and unique spaces. I do love the Surrey area near where I live as it has more countryside."
"However, after lockdown the first place I will be visiting is Brazil, but things are really bad there at the moment. I am praying for my Brazillian family and friends."
