Is there a message you try to send through your shoots/shows? Is there a certain way you want people to feel when they see your shoots/shows?
“Usually it's no message behind it but I want people to just be able to recognize my talents. I think I've grown a lot since my first shoot in October of 2016”

What challenges do you find yourself facing modeling?
“Finding support is a big challenge for me, not everyone knows how to show support. I lose a lot of friends because if you don't show support or genuine interest in what I'm doing why should you be my friend?”

When you look back on what you've done so far, how does it make you feel?
“I've came a long way I didn't know how to do anything in front of a camera and I see the changes I've made and what I learned over time in all my shoots.”

How do you feel your shoots/shows separates itself from everything else out there?
“My shoots are just simple shoots, I honestly don't think they separate from any other shoots. Only thing different in a shoot with me and anyone else is just that I'm in it. I look at myself as a unique individual who brings a different energy everywhere I go.”

This is the end of the interview is there anything else you want to be mentioned?
"Yes, I will have a website soon it will be for natural skincare and haircare. I will have it published by October hopefully, it will show people how to make their own natural products instead of just buying all the expensive brands also teaching them about their skin and hair.”
