Tashi Rodriguez was born in Brooklyn, New York on January 9th 1994. She is Puerto Rican, of African and Spanish descent. At the age of two she moved to Buffalo, New York where she lived until she was nineteen years old. In 2013 she moved to Charlotte, North Carolina looking for new opportunities. While working a retail position she met Lindsay Worsham. Lindsay was a model at the time and she made it her mission to help Tashi with her dream of being a model. In 2014 she finally signed to her very first modeling agency, Directions USA. After a year of shooting and building her portfolio in Charlotte, Tashi decided it was time for a change. In 2016, after signing to DT Model Management she moved to Los Angeles. Moving to Los Angeles was a big decision and she didn’t know what to expect but, she was determined to make it. She went to every casting and test shoot while working a part time job and after some time her hard work paid off. In 2018 she signed to her third modeling agency Storm Management. Her career continued to flourish in 2019 when she signed to Marilyn NY. She is currently represented by Photogenics in Los Angeles.

She has also been featured in magazines such as: Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Town and Country, Women’s Health, and Galore. Tashi absolutely adores her supporters. That is why this website was created, so please follow along as her journey continues!
With her newly completed PhD in astronomy in hand, twenty-eight-year-old Grace Porter goes on a girls’ trip to Vegas to celebrate. She’s a straight A, work-through-the-summer certified high achiever. She is not the kind of person who goes to Vegas and gets drunkenly married to a woman whose name she doesn’t know…until she does exactly that. This one moment of departure from her stern ex-military father’s plans for her life has Grace wondering why she doesn’t feel more fulfilled from completing her degree. Staggering under the weight of her father’s expectations, a struggling job market and feelings of burnout, Grace flees her home in Portland for a summer in New York with the wife she barely knows. In New York, she’s able to ignore all the annoying questions about her future plans and falls hard for her creative and beautiful wife, Yuki Yamamoto. But when reality comes crashing in, Grace must face what she’s been running from all along—the fears that make us human, the family scars that need to heal and the longing for connection, especially when navigating the messiness of adulthood.
