For Myrna Ivette Claudio, known professionally as Model BlackCat 007, success is not defined by a single career or one chapter of life. A Puerto Rican Latina model, SAG-AFTRA actress, recording artist, author, content creator, and mindset life coach based in New York, Claudio has built a multifaceted career around creativity, resilience, and the belief that it is never too late to pursue a dream.
Her connection with modeling began when she was just 12 years old. Introduced to the industry by her mother, Betty Ana, Claudio attended early modeling go-sees with her. Although life eventually took her in a different direction, the dream never disappeared. She stepped away from modeling to raise her three sons, whom she describes as her greatest achievement, before eventually returning to the industry with a renewed sense of purpose.
Her return has developed into a diverse career spanning fashion, entertainment, music, publishing, and digital media.
From Runways to the Spotlight
As a runway and commercial print model, Claudio has participated in fashion events across the United States, including New York Fashion Week, Los Angeles fashion events, Miami Swim Week, and bridal runway shows. Her runway experience includes RxRunway The Shows, HiTechMODA, and Preview Models in Los Angeles.
Her relationship with RxRunway has become particularly significant. Claudio currently serves as a model and ambassador for RxRunway The Shows and is represented through RxRunway The Agency, combining her work as a fashion professional with her role as an advocate within the modeling community.
Her modeling résumé also includes magazine covers and major promotional exposure. Among the publications she has been associated with are MAC, HOLLYWOOD, and COSMOPOLITAN UAE, while appearing on a billboard in Times Square, New York City, stands out as one of the highlights of her career.
For Claudio, these milestones represent more than photographs and publicity. They reflect the evolution of a dream that began in childhood and continued through the many responsibilities and experiences of adulthood.
A Growing Presence in Acting
Claudio’s creative career extends beyond fashion. As a SAG-AFTRA actress, she has participated in productions and promotional projects, including work connected with Law & Order and a VMA promotional project featuring Katy Perry and Russell Brand.
Her achievements in entertainment continued into 2026, when she received the Best Actress Award during the RxRunway Gala Awards—another milestone in a career that increasingly crosses the boundaries between modeling, acting, and entertainment.
Turning Experience Into a Book
One of Claudio’s most personal creative projects is her motivational self-help book, Life After Him: Starting Over After High-Conflict Relationships.
Published independently in December 2022, the book draws on experiences surrounding divorce, breakups, emotional recovery, and rebuilding one’s sense of self. Its central message is one of healing and personal renewal: difficult relationships do not have to define the rest of a person’s life.
The book focuses on themes including emotional stability, forgiveness, self-love, inner peace, meditation, prayer, and positive affirmations. Claudio’s goal is to encourage readers to regain their identity and discover hope after painful chapters in their lives.
The book was also showcased at the 2023 Printers Row Lit Fest in Chicago, placing Claudio’s work in a literary setting alongside other authors and giving her message an audience beyond the fashion and entertainment industries.
Finding Her Voice Through Music
Music is another important part of Claudio’s creative identity. As a recording artist, she explores multiple genres and has released songs including “Amor Bello,” “Line Dancing Tonight,” “Country Girl Marina,” “Vamos a Bailar,” and “Love Yourself.”
Her musical work continues to evolve. In July 2026, she released “Amor Bello,” a single credited to Myrna Ivette Claudio, demonstrating that her artistic ambitions remain active across multiple creative fields.
Her music is distributed across major streaming platforms, allowing her to reach audiences beyond her modeling and acting work.
More Than a Model
Claudio’s online presence adds another dimension to her career. Through her digital content and YouTube platforms, she explores subjects connected with mindset, storytelling, lifestyle, and music. Her work as a mindset life coach similarly reflects a recurring theme throughout her career: encouraging people to recognize their potential and move forward despite difficult circumstances.
That philosophy is also evident in the story behind Life After Him. Public information about the book describes Claudio as someone committed to helping people move from emotional brokenness toward healing, confidence, and a renewed sense of self.
A Career Built on Reinvention
What makes Myrna Ivette Claudio’s journey distinctive is not simply the number of roles she holds, but the different stages through which she has developed them. She began dreaming about modeling as a child, became a mother, stepped away from the industry, and later returned to pursue her creative ambitions with new determination.
Today, she moves comfortably between the runway, acting, music, writing, coaching, and digital storytelling.
As Model BlackCat 007, Myrna Ivette Claudio represents a message that extends well beyond fashion: a dream does not have an expiration date. Her journey demonstrates that life can take unexpected turns without bringing an end to personal ambition. Sometimes, a new chapter does not mean starting from nothing—it means bringing everything you have learned into the next version of yourself.
With new music, acting opportunities, modeling projects, and motivational work continuing to shape her career, Claudio’s story remains one of resilience, creativity, and reinvention.
And perhaps her greatest message is the simplest one: it is never too late to become who you were meant to be.
