Born September 12, 1989 in miami, Florida, Blaq Barbee formally known as Clarine Francois was determined to be a positive influence to any and all who happened to encounter her.

Modeling for me is most definetly a stepping stone into acting and even writing. I love and enjoy doing all three. I never intended to enter this business or to become brass, close-minded or snooty. If anything, I view everyone equally, including myself. I am a highschool graduate and full-time student. Majoring in psychology at Florida International University. With the grace of God, I intend to be everything that I can. I take business very seriously and modeling is MY BUSINESS! Im down to earth and easy to work with and usually love to hear constructive critism. I am determined to break molds. There are a countless number of young black women doing what they have to and setting trends but I niether want to fall into or be a part of what is already out there. Instead, I want to become a young women of color, dark skin tone might I add, that embelishes on the beauty of all women alike who resemble me all over. My skin is toned darker, my features are petite and I am BLAQ BARBEE.
