Selita Ebanks has come a long way from her humble beginnings in the Cayman Islands, where she lived in a small "shack" with her seven brothers. Despite having been accepted to several top-tier schools in the United States, where she had originally planned to study law, Ebanks' move to New York City ultimately resulted in a successful modeling career. Though she has modeled for a variety of high-profile fashion labels, Ebanks is best known for her part in lingerie giant Victoria's Secret Angels ad campaigns. Like fellow model Tyra Banks, who Ebanks describes as a mentor, she is one of the few women of color to have graced the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide
