Mariah Curtis

Hello, my name is Mariah Curtis. I am from the Navajo (Diné) Nation, born and raised. I am Tódich’ii’nii, born for Naaneesht’ézhi Táchii’nii; my maternal grandfather is Naakai Dìné and my paternal grandfather’s clan is Kinyaa’áanii. I am 25 years old, currently married and a mother of one. I am also a seamstress for my local area. I got the passion to join the modeling industry in 2022. Since then, I have worked with amazing designers such as JG Indie, Ro Tree, Jumbo Creations, Rebekah Jarvey, Elias Jade Not Afraid, Breezy Designs and Penny Singer. I have also had the pleasure of working with photographers who produce unique work. I love the passion and energy that modeling has to offer, and—being a mother—I love encouraging everyone that they can do anything. Although I’m new to the industry, I want to work hard and build my image for the Diné world to see that we can do and be anything and to encourage our people towards a bright, positive future for our youth to see and explore.
