Even the names of her parents are unknown. Nonetheless, it is widely known that she had a rough start to her life as her family wasn’t that rich. Talinda even supported herself as soon as she graduated college from the Los Angeles Music Academy in 1995.

It was a hard life for her as she worked on a number of odd jobs such as working as a waitress for a burger fast food chain. She even wandered into animal training and even worked once as an elementary teacher.

As much as she wanted to accept that it was her fate to lead a simple life, she still wasn’t satisfied. Instead, she ventured into modeling. Soon after, she realized that it was indeed her calling.

And so, she pursued it and it eventually bore fruit. She ventured into modeling at the turn of the new millennium. This proved successful as she saved a considerable amount of money from her chosen career.
