IN DEPTH.
( trigger warning for mentions of: infertility, parental death, fire, injury. )
born in izmir to mehmet bayrak and hazal erdoÄan, two people who were hardly out of their teens, though very much in love, when they discovered they were expecting a baby. however both came from extremely traditional households that were not at all supportive of them having a child so young and unmarried. and without the means to properly care for her the way they wished otherwise, the couple decidedly put their daughter up for adoption.
enter lawrence and alanah reid, a couple from the US looking to expand their little family, they already had a son aka her big brother @landon-reidâ , but due to complications from that pregnancy she couldnât conceive anymore so they opted to adopt. sanem was just a few months old when she officially became part of their family and constantly reminded how much she was always meant to be.Â
spent the first 15 years of her life calling various countries / cities home because her parents respective work had them constantly traveling and she loved it, developed a wanderers soul as a result. also what helped in her finding her passion in life DANCE.
sadly however, when she was 15 while they had been in argentina at the time, her mother passed as the result of a work related accident while out in a shoot. almost immediately following her funeral in crescent harbor, where they had originally hailed from, lawrence moved them back there permanently, after taking a business exec position.Â
for a good while sanem remained pretty closed off, and lost her desire to continue dancing. until one person in particular @lilywhittakerâ was very persistent on introducing herself and becoming friends. truthfully she was the first person that managed to break through the guard and the two of them have been BEST FRIENDS ever since.
also after her father sat down and an actual heart to heart with her, at least as much as heâd been able to, reminding her how much her mother had always pushed for her to follow her dream, she slowly began to get back to reigniting her passion.
following high school she quickly moved from student to teacher at a local studio, while also competing in various competitions, including world of dance, began a youtube channel, to showcase her classes and provide tutorials to some routines, that garnered a lot of attention to her quickly, and became a very requested choreographer for various artists and shows. as well as came into ownership of her studio momentum which is currently in downtown.
she also started traveling again, checking off places gradually that sheâs never been before, sometimes itâs planned, sometimes sheâd throw a dart at a map and just go
five years ago she sought out her birth family after some time of hesitation, and has since made trips every so often back to izmir to visit them and get to the know them a little more. is more close to her younger brother emir, and sister damla,â who is currently living in town for now, so the two of them have been bonding more.Â
was trapped in the fire that happened during the festival, though she got pulled out and saved by a close friend, and sustained a 2nd degree burn on her arm, now scarred, and also dealt with sleep terrors as a result, she has since started therapy for, along with other issues.
currently engaged to @alli-pellisierâ who is the LOVE OF HER LIFE and SOULMATEâą unbeknownst to them for a time because of evading memory, they spent a couple summers of their own having little moments together, after sanem had stopped other shitty kids from bullying allison, and they shared something on the boardwalk together. until alli stopped going to study for harvard before she left, and they hadnât run into each other again until last yearâs charity gala, developing a close friendship, that soon blossomed into deeper feelings, and eventually a beautiful relationship. they have two furbabies together cairo and milo, and live in sunstone beach at the hawthorne manor !!Â
has recently also launched her newest baby and passion project, an online dance academy dubbed RYTHM.
