She’s hot, she’s exotic, she’s inked. \u00a0She’s multi talented and her journey is such an inspiration. \u00a0She had a rough (and tough) childhood and she was addicted to a (very) dangerous prescription drug… \u00a0But she turned everything around. \u00a0She took all the negatives in her life by the balls and dunked them (LeBron style) in the trash bin. \u00a0Now everyone looks up at her with total admiration.<\/p>\n

Who is she? \u00a0And what’s her story?<\/p>\n

Indya Marie is a songwriter as well, and just this year, she has written a song for rapper PnB Rock titled ‘Girls Like You’. \u00a0She has also been featured on World Star Hip Hop website and VH1 morning show.<\/p>\n

Indya Marie (aka Indyamarie) is also a model and fashion influencer who is currently represented by Wilhelmina Models.<\/p>\n

Early life<\/h2>\n

Indya Marie Jean was born Indyamarie Pelton on December 7, 1993, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, U.S. \u00a0She is of African American, Cuban, and Cherokee descent. \u00a0She has two elder brothers and she has lived in a number of cities such as Kansas City, Atlanta, and Charlotte.<\/p>\n

Indya Marie’s story is the perfect plot of a tearjerker movie. <\/em>
\nYou see, she raised herself after enduring an abusive childhood.<\/em><\/p>\n

Indya started modeling seriously when she was only 16 (and established an online fan base and following). \u00a0After graduating from high school, however, she became more interested in fashion\/designing and she decided to set aside modeling. \u00a0At the age of 17, she started hair styling and when she was 19, she tried her hands in fashion designing. \u00a0But a year after, when she was 20, she faced another dark time in her life… \u00a0and it involved drugs.<\/p>\n

Drug addiction<\/h2>\n

Around the age of 19, Indya started selling drugs but it wasn’t until she turned 20 that she became addicted to the prescription drug Xanax.<\/p>\n

\"Indya<\/a><\/p>\n

But when Indya turned 21, she turned her life (completely) around and focused only on the positives. \u00a0She began establishing an online presence through Instagram<\/a> in 2013 and that caught the attention of people and they started following her. \u00a0And with her passion for all things creative, she launched her own accessories line, she flourished as a stylist and designer, and she turned her poetic flair into songwriting.<\/p>\n

Her Love of Jewelry<\/h2>\n

It all started when she posted pictures of her personal collection on Instagram. \u00a0The jewelry posts became quite popular and so she created \u2018MarieJean Accessories\u2019. \u00a0She started with gold (and diamond) bracelets and she puts the pieces up for pre-order. \u00a0Nothing serious at first, she was just trying it out… \u00a0To her surprise, the orders from the first release were astounding. \u00a0After the first accessory (which was called the ‘Princess Bracelet’), she received demands from the male counterpart as well. \u00a0So she promised her fans\/customers that every accessory from then on would have a ‘his’ and ‘her’ (to cater to both\/all gender).<\/p>\n

\"Indya<\/a><\/p>\n

MarieJean Accessories has now become a famous brand. \u00a0The jewelry pieces are extraordinarily limited and that’s what the customers love about it… \u00a0The specialty has become a novelty. \u00a0Very much like the owner.<\/p>\n

Indya Trivia<\/h2>\n

Indya Marie is an advocate of (legalizing) marijuana. \u00a0You can see videos of her in YouTube rolling a blunt. \u00a0I’m not sure if I can put the video here, but what the hell, might as well. \u00a0If it is safe enough for YouTube…<\/p>\n
