While photoshoots and other modelling gigs have taken Justis to work internationally, her consistent posts across social media outlets like Instagram and TikTok have likewise built up Justis a home-grown fanbase, with her cross-platform following bordering close to a massive 1 million users.
Still, despite her readily apparent good looks, there’s plenty more than meets the eye when it comes to Justis. With a mind for intellectual pursuits, Justis is currently pursuing an undergraduate degree in business with the ultimate goal of becoming a practicing lawyer herself. Though the young model’s dreams are still in the distance, Justis’s commitment to honing her skills and learning the ropes of the legal world is apparent in her extracurricular activities. Having participated in a unique internship opportunity with leading prison reform expert Lori Rothschild Ansaldi, a mentor of Kim Kardashian West, Justis has prepared herself for success when the time arrives to enter law school and finally achieve her long-time goal of becoming an attorney.
Just like her cinematic counterpart, Justis’s picture-perfect appearance may be deceiving at first glance, but the social media star’s passionate dedication to the field of law ultimately sets the stage for a very bright future for Justis within the US legal system.
