From Akon’s “I’m So Paid” music video to Khloe & Kourtney take Miami, high fashion run ways, magazines and so much more Erica Mena has paved her way to Hollywood and her struggle hasn’t been easy.

Randa of HipHopGossipByRanda.com had the pleasure of sitting down with Erica the wife , the mother and the the amazing business woman she is today! In her first time ever interview we asked all the dirt we thought our fans would want to know and got deep into her personal life and the struggles she had to overcome to get where she is today. This is the first part of the interview and we will be dropping the second part next week where she gets more into depth of things her fans have been dying to know. I must say it was a breath of fresh air for us here at HHGBR to have the pleasure of meeting and working with someone so humble and real.

The interview took place at Newport Beachside Hotel & Resort and we were able to utilize her expertise to make the interview what it is. Modeling is second nature to Mrs. Mena and her creativity will take her a long way.
