About

More Than a Model (MTaM) is a single member LLC established in Montgomery County MD in 2021 by Kisha Martin Riley,  a resident in Montgomery County and parent of 4 children that are familiar with the Montgomery County Public School System. .  MTaM provides mentorship ,coaching and resources to support youth and is founded on the belief that every child is a star but in order to put your best foot forward the hind leg has to be strong enough to carry the weight.  We believe that building confidence and developing leadership in the youth of today will create strong leaders of tomorrow closing the opportunity gap and ultimately the wealth gap.

By inspiring and qualifying youth of underserved communities to look their best (with available resources), feel their best (addressing the whole person) so that they can do their best we are deliberate in creating opportunities of self-expression through fashion, empowering them to be themself amid a world of social media influencers and other personas, and creating authentic relationships by focusing on similarities and learning from differences.
