Sarah Jane’s vulnerability made her a breakout star of the series — which has been renewed for a second season.
“I’ve had this whole new wave of people in my life who care about me for me,” she told Elite Daily. “I can be more reserved when I’m meeting people out in the world, so when people are like, ‘I watched your show and I loved it,’ I feel like I know them instantly.”
Sarah Jane Is A Model

“I want to push modeling as far as I can take it, and tick off career bucket list goals,” she told Fashion Week Daily.

Brooks helped her navigate the early days of working as a model in New York City. “I feel very lucky that I was guided through the whole modeling process, but I know there are so many girls moving here from another country or another state who are new to everything and get taken advantage of,” Sarah Jane continued.
Brooks told Fashion Week Daily in 2024: “Everyone knows I have three sisters who I’d do anything in the world for, but they have to get the job for themselves, don’t just sit there,” she revealed.
“They’ve taken that pretty seriously, especially Sarah Jane,” Brooks admitted.
She added that the youngest Nader showed her siblings “How important relationships are; remembering [a] person’s names and facts about them,” she said.
