LOS ANGELES, CA (November 30, 2017) - In the cutthroat world of modeling, every aspiring beauty needs support, guidance and sometimes an nudge down the runway.

Each week, Yolanda puts the girls and their moms through a series of lessons and assignments designed to not only test their modeling agility, but also the strength of their mother-daughter relationship. With a $5,000 weekly prize on the line to put towards their future careers, only one girl will be left standing to win a management contract with Yolanda's company and the potential opportunity to be represented by IMG Models in New York.
