Bridge the racial divide is what Wanda did more than 40 years ago when

to go. Wanda began her career evolution as a young model in Chicago. At age 16, she attended modeling school,

training began in the mid '70's, when she taught modeling at "John Robert Powers", and "Marnee Jones"
modeling schools. This led her to open her own modeling school and talent agency, franchised by "Screen Actors
Guild" (SAG), and "American Federation of Television and Radio Artists" (AFTRA). She studied and trained
