SHY MAGAZINE REPORTS - RAMATU BARRY DMV’s Elite Model


SHY MAGAZINE REPORTS - Style Elite Model Ramatu Barry is DMV’s Elite Model

SHY MAGAZINE REPORTS. Watch out, Tyra. Ramatu Barry, 23, has her sights set on the top of the fashion and modeling industry. Born in Sierra Leone, Ramatu came to the Maryland area when she was 11 years old. When she was 16, a model search came to town and her godmother persuaded the West African beauty to give it a try. As a result, she booked her very first campaign, putting her face on billboards all over the U.S.

Locally, you may have seen her in such events, like Capitol Catwalk and Fashion Fights Poverty. If you didn’t get out to those, you might have seen her on your television walking in BET’s Rip the Runway special.
Aside from modeling, she is also a sales associate at Saks Fifth Avenue. Her clients include some of our favorite area party promoters, like Dave & Ray and Omari Ware of The Standard, Randy Jackson from American Idol and Juan Dixon. She’s about to leave the DMV to move to the Big Apple so she can be closer to more modeling jobs. There, she also plans to earn a degree for a career in fashion buying.
