Meet the Founder:
Larry James Young

Read Mr. Young’s Amazing Story.

With more than 35 years of experience in the music and entertainment industries, Larry Young has built a powerful network through his work as a personal bodyguard to renowned artists, including Bell Biv DeVoe, Rick James, Bobby Brown, Silk, Akon, and many more.

The vision for The Twin Factory Modeling Agency began when Larry’s barber shared his dream of becoming a model and asked for his guidance. Larry recognized his potential, organized a professional photoshoot, created a comp card, and introduced him to the right people at the MAGIC Show.

The results spoke for themselves. Within six months, the aspiring model was sitting in the office of one of the top modeling agencies in the world.

That experience inspired Larry to create The Twin Factory, a platform dedicated to discovering talent, developing confidence, and connecting aspiring models with meaningful opportunities.

Today, Larry continues to use his experience, industry knowledge, and powerful connections to help models build their presence, unlock their potential, and step into the next level of their careers.

“Talent deserves an opportunity. At The Twin Factory, we help turn potential into possibility.”

Meet the CEO: Rhonda Weatherspoon

Rhonda Weatherspoon is an accomplished entrepreneur, business professional, entertainer, talent
manager, and one of the founding members of The Twin Factory, bringing together decades of
experience in entertainment, modeling, acting, comedy, talent development, management, and
professional relationship building.
Rhonda’s journey in the entertainment industry began in Buffalo, New York, where she was a
founding member of the Buffalo Highlighters & ACME Laugh Modeling and Acting
Troupe, under the leadership of Larry Wiggins and Charles Menifee. During this time,
Rhonda developed her skills as a performer while gaining valuable firsthand experience in the
entertainment business.
The Buffalo Highlighters & ACME Laugh troupe had the distinction of serving as the opening
act for the Budweiser Showdown showcases, presented by Alan Haymond Productions and
Freddy C Promotions. Performing before live audiences provided Rhonda with an early
understanding of the preparation, discipline, teamwork, and professionalism necessary to
succeed in entertainment.
Her journey continued with R & R Productions, where she worked alongside Regina Wiggins,
further developing her experience in entertainment and live performance. Rhonda also expanded
her talents into stand-up comedy, demonstrating her versatility and ability to engage audiences
through humor and personality.
Her comedy career included a memorable accomplishment when she earned Second Place at the
Yuk-Yuk Comedy Club, further establishing her ability to command an audience and perform
in a competitive entertainment environment.
Talent Development & Management
Rhonda’s experience extends beyond performing. She has also worked on the management and
development side of the entertainment industry.
As a partner with Karen Moore-Alston of Southern Flavor Management Team, Rhonda was
involved in the development and management of talent. This experience gave her an important
perspective into the responsibilities involved in helping talent navigate the entertainment
industry, develop their abilities, present themselves professionally, and pursue opportunities.
That combination of experiences—as a performer, manager, entrepreneur, and business
professional—has become an important part of Rhonda’s philosophy today. She understands that
successful talent development requires more than simply putting someone in front of a camera. It
requires guidance, preparation, professionalism, confidence, opportunity, and strong
management.

Film & Screen Experience
Rhonda has also continued to participate in film and entertainment projects. Most recently, she
appeared in the 2020 short film Retribution, written and directed by Meecah.
Her continued involvement in entertainment allows Rhonda to maintain a firsthand
understanding of the experience talent encounters when auditioning, preparing for a role,
working on set, and bringing a production to life.
Building The Twin Factory
Today, Rhonda serves as Chief Executive Officer of The Twin Factory, working alongside
Founder Larry Young to build a company focused on identifying, developing, managing, and
representing talent.
The Twin Factory represents an opportunity for Rhonda to bring together the many chapters of
her career—from her early days performing in Buffalo, to comedy, production, talent
management, acting, entrepreneurship, and business leadership.
Her goal is to help create a professional environment where aspiring and established talent can
develop their skills, build their confidence, expand their portfolios, and pursue legitimate
opportunities in modeling and entertainment.
Rhonda believes that talent deserves more than an opportunity—it deserves direction,
preparation, representation, and someone who understands the journey.
After years of experiencing the entertainment industry from multiple perspectives, she is now
committed to helping the next generation of talent find their own place in the spotlight.
From the Stage to the Boardroom—And Back to the Spotlight.
