Mark Kenny, my biggest inspiration - Yanique

Yanique 'Curvy Diva' Barrett has many persons in her life who act as a source of inspiration but in a recent interview with The STAR, the host of Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall revealed that the show's executive creator, Mark Kenny tops her list.

The popular media personality told The STAR that she admires Kenny's natural ability to create opportunities not just for himself but for others as well. "I see him come into a foreign country and he brought so much stuff with him," she said. "He's so creative. He's done so much work with Digicel, he brought the Claro Cash Cab, Magnum etc. He's a true inspiration. Separate and a part from working with him he's very humble and I love that about him."

Barrett who is on the verge of producing her own reality TV series, explains that she sometimes runs her ideas by Kenny just to get his opinion. "He's such an inspiration and a good mentor that I talk to him about a lot of my ideas," she said. "He's always encouraging me, telling me 'Yanique you're going places'. He makes me feel like it's not impossible to do that movie and win an Oscar. He definitely motivates me."

The 'Curvy Diva' also told The STAR that her biggest fear in life is failure and admitted to being her toughest critic. "I am so afraid of failing and so I'm very hard on myself. If you guys think the public is hard, I'm worse than them. That's why anything they do or say I laugh because I'm my worst critic," she explained. "I'm a perfectionist so I fuss over simple things. I like things structured. I don't like confusion, I like when things run smoothly. It may be a very bad habit but I just hate failing and so I like to be prepared."
