Forrest was discovered in Huntington Beach in 2015.[8][7] Forrest manually removed her own braces to launch her career and first job.[9]

She was the cover model for the i-D "Futurewise" issue[8] as well as twice appearing on the cover The New York Times style magazine, T.[21]

Forrest has spoken out on issues of racial equity in the fashion industry, critiquing designers who don't cast models of color[7] as well as the lack of stylists able to care for black women's hair properly.[22]

Personal life

Speaking to The Cut, Forrest described her sexuality as, "I love girls. Or, you know what, I just love people. So, that’s what it is. I don’t really categorize it, but if there was a category, I would probably be bisexual. But I have never been with a guy.".[7][23]
