Today we bring to you a woman that not only possesses beauty, but brains to go along with it…Meet Vanna B…a former model, known as Vanna Black, now she’s an author and publisher of fiction novels. Vanna is the CEO of Hope Street Publishing and a native of Philadelphia PA. Vanna attended Temple University where she received her BA in Journalism.

She also appeared in music videos by Mario, Bow Wow, Cassidy, Juvenile, Fabolous, and Young Jeezy.
