Entertainment career

In the late 1990s, music video director Little X discovered Ford while she was working as a bartender at a Toronto nightclub and helped launch her modeling career.6 She has appeared in music videos, men's magazines, television programs and films.1 Ford was an on-air personality for Sirius Satellite Radio's Hot Jamz channel.7 She sells a line of calendars and DVD.8

In a 2008 CNN interview, Ford said that when making music videos she often asked herself whether she was "perpetuating a negative stereotype" about black women. When she was asked whether music videos, overall, are "demeaning to women", Ford replied, "Yes, I definitely have to say that."4
