Official media kit for Twin of a KindTRANSCRIPT
“Why fit in when you were born to stand out!” A motto that Erin and
Desiree Green stand by. These two beautiful and vivacious ladies
are an example of uniqueness. They may look the same, have a simi-
lar walk, and carry themselves in the same manner but their person-
alities are quite unique. Erin is the observant of the two. She’s
known for examining first, take action second. Desiree is the bold
and daring one, known to act first ask questions later. These con-
trasting personalities allows them to be there for each other, support
and encourage one other.
They didn’t see things quite this way growing up. They tried their
best to fit in with the in-crowd. Found it difficult to grab the atten-
tion of others and socially were labeled as ‘awkward’. They were ridi-
culed and bullied as youth for their lack of size and peculiar look.
Overcoming childhood obstacles, led us to share our experiences with
others through the development of Twin of a Kind. Twin of A Kind
(TAK) is a self-empowerment organization based on building self-
esteem and creating positive self-awareness by motivating and en-
couraging youth/young adults to see their potential. A hallmark of
TAK is gaining self-acceptance and the understanding that everyone
is different in their own way. Twin of A Kind provides interactive
workshops called “Unlock and Unleash Your Star Potential” designed
to help individuals get to know themselves, love themselves, and be
true to themselves.
Their defining moments that have led them out of their zone of isola-
tion and fear was being able to conquer self-doubt and just simply
take risks. They gained their confidence by appearing on Fear Fac-
tor (Twins Edition) in 2005; appearing on a music video by Slum Vil-
lage titled, “Selfish” featuring Kanye West; while captivating their
audiences on the runway with their dynamic synchronized strut,
wearing the hottest trends and fashions of many fashion designers.
Embracing size and appearance on countless amounts of print ads;
obtaining over 30 years of combined experience in the mental health
field; and most of all just being a twin and always knowing they have
someone by their side.
ERIN
GREEN
Erin is the more observant of the two. She’s known for ex-
amining things first, and taking action second.
Erin has a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Masters
in Marriage and Family Therapy. She has been involved
in the entertainment industry as a model and actress for
over ten years. Her passion for modeling has given her
confidence to overcome adolescent self-esteem issues.
Erin’s vibrant, warm and bold personality is gravitating
and individuals are drawn to confidence and a beautiful
spirit. However, on the other end of the spectrum, she is a
straight shooter and will be very honest and candid with
providing you with the facts of life.
“Why fit in when you were born to
stand out!”
DESIREE
GREEN

and ask questions later.
Desiree also has a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a
Masters in Public Administration. Not only is she is intel-
ligent but a go-getter. It doesn’t stop there, she also finds
her passion and strength when it comes to strutting on a
runway or in front of any camera. She comes alive!
She commands attention anywhere she goes but keeping
within her boundaries. Spontaneous in nature, and can
liven any party, she is driven and goal oriented. Desiree
is no stranger to marriage, parenting, and holding down
a career all at the same time.

thing is possible!”
