Victoria Secret fashion model Selita Ebanks revealed to Niteside recently what she has in store for the future.

“I’ll be hosting a fashion show on BET,” Ebanks said at a holiday benefit in Manhattan, where celebrities helped wrap over 2,000 toys for younger foster children.

Ebanks was mum on any further details of the show, but did share news of a book on female empowerment she is working on, which is due out next year.

“The book is real personal,” Ebanks said. “It’s little antidotes and things I’ve learned. It’s not just about modeling. It’s about being successful as a young woman.”

This is Ebanks’ seventh year as a Victoria’s Secret Angel and she said she was “stoked” to watch the annual fashion show with her “Angel family.”

While one of her favorite perks of modeling for Victoria’s Secret is the free underwear, she says that being able to learn from the pros makes her job ideal.

“I have had the opportunity to work alongside Gisele [Bundchen] and Tyra [Banks],” Ebanks said. “I’ve worked with some of the most beautiful women in the world and they’ve taught me a lot. They’re all my heroes.”
