“I believe life is about growing,” says Selene — a model who comes to Playboy Plus from Atlanta, Georgia. “I am originally from a small town near Atlanta. Reflecting on it, what I can appreciate most about my hometown is how things felt a lot [simpler],” she says. “I’m happy that I moved out at a rather young age to experience more cultures outside of what I knew.” A vibrant and empathetic soul, we’re thrilled to be collaborating with Selene. “What makes me, ‘me,’ is my sense of humor. I find people with a sense of humor extraordinarily charming and intelligent, so I would like to think those qualities apply to me,” she smiles. “[It’s] also an indicator that you don’t take yourself too seriously, which is crucial because it allows you to humble yourself and relearn what you’ve been taught. Being able to expand my perspective is important to me.” When it comes to Playboy, we first caught sight of Selene through her photographer, Madeline Northway. “Playboy has always offered its platform to underrepresented communities, and they aren’t scared of taking a risk,” she says. “Being a part of the brand is something I’m honored to do, but still processing, as I am so happy to be here!” Get to know more about the extraordinary Selene, through her pictorials, right here on Playboy Plus.
