Early Life[]

ANTM[]

At the semi-finals, Teyona was the ninth girl called to join the final thirteen. Throughout the competition, she was called first three times, being widely considered versatile and naturally photogenic by the judges. She also received praise for her consistent photos and chameleon portfolio, as well as her "wind-in-the-face" look.

She struggled with her final commercial, and landed in the bottom two for the first (and only) time, but survived against Aminat. At the final judging, she was deemed to be neck and neck with Allison, but was believed to have a greater passion for modeling, making her the judges' pick for the winner.[1]
