Wandering, wild and free

Bumping into reflections of me

You can run but you cannot hide

If the monster you are running from is inside

Throwback to my first photoshoot in Miami when I was 22— at that time it felt like destiny led me straight to the people I was meant to meet. Coming from Mississippi, where I often felt misunderstood and out of place, Miami was a breath of fresh air. I craved community and a sense of belonging, and Miami offered me just that.

I embarked on a journey of self-transformation—embracing vegetarianism, yoga, and daily workouts—trying to align myself with my true passions, setting the foundation for where I am now. With the hope of one da living on the beach, which I eventually did.

After a couple of months there, I decided to do a photoshoot in nature, a symbolic baptism in the water to honor my roots and journey. Oleta Park quickly became my sanctuary, and later, I even found myself working with a conservation organization to protect parks like these.

Miami embraced me with open arms, and I'm forever grateful for the experiences I had there. Looking back at these photos, I see a fearless, badass version of myself. Despite the struggles, I never gave up.

However, I now understand that my move from Mississippi to Miami was also a way of running from my issues. It took time and growth to realize that I needed to face them head-on. Wherever you go, your problems will follow if they're coming from within.

Whenever I feel down, I draw strength from her—the beauty, excitement, and resilience she exuded in every experience.
