Myrna Ivette Claudio—better known in the fashion world as Blackcat—isn’t just walking runways. She’s rewriting the script on what it means to chase your dreams at any stage in life. Her modeling career began at just 12 years old, but like many, she stepped away for a time to focus on family. What’s remarkable is how she came back stronger, with even more purpose.
Now, with over 15 years in the industry, she’s owning the spotlight again, proving that timing is everything—and it’s never too late to shine.
Making Her Mark on Fashion’s Biggest Stages
In 2024 and 2025, Blackcat hit major milestones, walking for HiTechMODA and RXRunway during New York Fashion Week, representing the House of STL (Season 12). She didn’t just walk the runway—she was featured on a Times Square billboard and captured by Getty Images, validating her hard work and undeniable presence.
And she’s just getting started. Paris and Milan Fashion Weeks are on the horizon.
Lights, Camera, Action
Myrna’s not just a model—she’s also an actress and a SAG-AFTRA member with credits in shows like 30 Rock and a promo for the VMA Awards. She brings the same energy she carries on the runway to the screen: confident, captivating, and unforgettable.
The Healer Within: Becoming a Quantum Manifestation Coach
One of Myrna’s most meaningful evolutions has been stepping into the role of a Quantum Manifestation Coach. Her focus? Teaching people how to tap into self-love, self-worth, and the power of presence. Her workshops and coaching aren’t about surface-level motivation—they go deep, encouraging people to reconnect with their truest selves.
From Pain to Power: The Book That Speaks Volumes
Her journey through heartbreak led her to write Life After Him, a powerful self-help book that blends vulnerability with strength. It’s a guide for anyone navigating loss, offering tools for healing and transformation. The book has resonated with readers around the world and is available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
What’s Next for Blackcat?
Myrna’s schedule is packed with exciting projects:
- Speaking at the Women’s Expo in Paris (March 2024)
- Runway appearance with Preview Models (March 2025)
- Certification as a Mindset Life Coach
- New collaborations as a Brand Ambassador
She’s continuing to grow, push boundaries, and build a career that reflects her purpose.
Rooted in Gratitude and Family
Despite her high-profile appearances and growing platform, Myrna stays grounded. A proud mother of three and grandmother, she values quality time with her family and lives by a mantra of gratitude. Her success is not about ego—it’s about impact.
More Than a Name
Blackcat isn’t just a brand. It’s a reflection of Myrna’s journey—bold, graceful, and fiercely authentic. She’s proof that your story doesn’t end after setbacks. In fact, that’s often where it really begins.
