Iberia City District 2 councilman Marlon Lewis offered Tori Robertson a key to the city for her nationally recognized modeling work.
After performing a modeling show at the birthday celebration for Triscette Boloney, Councilman Lewis presented young Tori a certificate of recognition signed by Mayor Freddie DeCourt and offered her a key to the city.
Tori is only ten years old, but currently models for SAAVI kids, a national modeling network, and was granted the opportunity to model at New York Fashion Week last year.
She joined Disney movie star Christian Simon as a New Iberia Key to the City recipient.
Tori was thoroughly surprised by the award, thinking she would simply perform for the night. According to Lewis, she was overloaded to know the city gave her such an honor.
“Every bit of what she got, she deserved it. She made my night. If I had to do it all over again, count me in, for any kids,” Lewis said.
