Jones broke into the fashion world on the third season of America’s Next Top Model. The reality TV competition saw the plus-size model break barriers as she won “Covergirl of the Week” four consecutive times. Eventually, host Tyra Banks eliminated Jones in the eighth episode. AOL Entertainment later chose her as one of the most memorable contestants on ANTM, reports Fandom.

With so many media gigs under her belt, Jones is a natural fit for Atlanta Fashion Week.
