The Puerto Rican is a former number one model in the models.com industry hot list of best models thanks to the constant demand for her from leading photographers and fashion editors, global brands, magazines and fashion show producers.

The 32-year-old has walked for the likes of Givenchy, John Paul Gaultier, Stella McCartney, Prabal Gurung and Este Lauder, and she also appeared on the runway during H&M's inaugural show.

In 2020, Smalls pledged to donate half her wages for the rest of the year in support of organizations committed to Black lives and challenged other fashion-industry leaders to go beyond performative displays of solidarity and do the same through the platform Donate My Wage. "I see all the agencies, magazines, brands posting black screens on their Instagram accounts. But what does that really mean? What is the fashion industry actually going to do about it? Is it just another trend?" Smalls read from her open letter. "An industry that profits from our Black and Brown bodies, our culture for constant inspiration, our music (that continues to glorify these brands), and our images for their visuals has tiptoed around the issue at hand," Smalls told Harper's Bazaar.
