Meet Brookliyn, a model from Anchorage, Alaska, currently based in Las Vegas, Nevada. “My personality is very laid back,” says Brookliyn of herself. “I’m pretty shy unless I’m really comfortable around you or if I’m on set.” A longtime model, Brookliyn has been in the industry since she was a teen and has loved her career so far. “I love modeling. I started when I was about 13 or 14,” she says. Her work has shaped her into the woman she is today. “It’s really where I got all my confidence from — you have to be comfortable around new people. You have to be confident in yourself so [that] you can perform.” It was around the same time as a teen where Brookliyn first heard of Playboy. “I was a kid. I had only heard references or people talking about it,” she says. Now, she’s proud to be a part of the brand. “My experience with Playboy thus far? It has been great. I’m excited to be a part of it. I think it celebrates women, and I love that.” Celebrating herself and other women is something very important to her. “Female empowerment to me means uplifting other women, supporting their endeavors, [and] letting women know it’s okay to the sexual beings without being judged,” she says thoughtfully.
