About
Our Mission
Straight Walk Runway is more than a modeling academy it’s a platform for building confidence, presence, and purpose. Founded by Shereena Delgado, we empower models, creatives, and youth to step into their full potential through professional training, personal development, and industry mentorship.
“SWR is more than a modeling academy it’s a confidence academy. Every session helped me grow as a model and a person.”
Our Story
From Miami roots to New York runway experience, Shereena Delgado built SWR with the vision of creating a space where talent meets guidance, creativity meets structure, and confidence meets opportunity. Over the years, SWR has grown into a trusted academy and production platform, producing fashion shows, training models of all ages, and connecting creatives to meaningful opportunities.
Shereena Delgado
Founder & Model Coach
“Straight Walk Runway was created because I saw too many models walking into this industry unprepared, undervalued, and unsure of themselves. I wanted to build something different. A space where confidence is just as important as the walk, where education meets real opportunity, and where people are seen, supported, and taken seriously. Everything we offer is rooted in purpose. I don’t just want models to walk the runway. I want them to walk in rooms knowing who they are, what they bring, and what they deserve.”
