Introducing… TESLA WOLFE

Welcome, Tesla. How does it feel to be featured in MAXIM Australia?

It honestly feels like my little girl’s dream has come true. I always admired how beautiful the women were and hoped one day that would be me. I never really saw any Native American women in MAXIM, so I wanted to represent our beauty inside and out and be a voice for my people.

Well you look gorgeous. What is your best asset, phsically or otherwise?

My Hazel eyes and my strength.

Give us a little more background about yourself and your life story so far.

I am a small town girl from Ada, Oklahoma U.S.A. and I am Native American – my tribes are Seminole & Creek. Classically trained in dance from the age of seven, my home life in Oklahoma was kinda tough – I was kind of a rebel and definitely misunderstood. Dance became my outlet and I felt destined to do bigger things in life, so I left to pursue a professional dance career. I moved to Texas and started dancing professionally, found my passion for choreography and loved teaching the students. It was a calling to inspire the youngsters. I received a full ride dance scholarship to L.A., so I jumped on it and immediately got signed by an agency. Now I've found my passion for acting and it really became another artistic outlet and therapy to heal my past. So, naturally I was really good at it – LOL!

On Instagram you describe yourself as an actress/model/dancer. Tell us more about your work.
