I am a weirdo in the absolute best way, I talk to myself (because who doesn’t), I love to dance, and above anything else I really love being around people. I’m a free spirit who has completed the long journey of learning to love myself and would like the opportunity to inspire others how to do the same.

I believe the fashion hero tv series is doing an extraordinary task in showing that people are versatile; and that beauty comes in all different shapes, sizes, and creeds and we are all beautiful.

I believe I would be a great role model for this generation and inspire people as the new face of the fashion hero because I know what it feels like to look in the mirror and hate what you see. Growing up I was bullied for being too dark, or too fat and I was never able to look at the TV screen and see someone who looked like me. I hated the skin I walked in, and now I can’t imagine being anything other than me. I am not perfect, nor will I ever be, but what I can say now is that I truly love the person I have become inside and out. I still have some growing to do and my journey has not stopped yet, but I would love to represent for all the little girls and boys who feel as though they are not enough. I want to be to someone else what I needed growing up, which is a perfectly imperfect person who celebrates all shapes, sizes, and creeds.
