Early LifeEdit

Eva Marcille Pigford was born on October 30, 1984 in Los Angeles, California to Michelle Pigford and an unnamed father. Eva has wanted to be a fasion model since she was a young child, dressing up in her mother's high heels and walking an imaginary runway down the aisles of the grocery stores. Eva had a very hard time in school, with kids that were making the wrong choices involving alcohol, drugs, and skipping classes. Despite the crowd's actions, she chose to be a leader, and take the ridicule for being a 'nerd'.
