What is your favorite color?
My favorite color is green. My very first favorite color was yellow and then for a temporary time it was orange. Around the time I was 10 then my favorite color became green. I love the middle shade of green where it’s not too dark but it’s not super light either. My mom’s favorite color was always green and I wanted to have the same color because I loved her so much, especially growing up.
What advice would you give to your teenage self?
Don’t grow up too fast and become more selfish. I care a lot about people and have demonstrated how much I show up for them especially in situations. In the past I haven’t always cared as much for myself as I would others in my life and that affected a lot of how I view relationships
If you could have dinner with anyone from history, who would it be?
Michael Jackson who was the 1st person to ever teach about loving music and dance. I could’ve learned so much more if I was born earlier but he lives with me all day everyday. He plays a big part in my dancing career and my arts career
What inspires you?
Gospel Music and the fact there’s a new day. A new day can bring new elements all the time. Tomorrow is never promised so I always try to get as much as I can every single day. So many opportunities for me to chase and so many goals I have yet to accomplish
What’s a small thing someone did that really encouraged you?
Following me back on social media. To know that people are truly interested and invested in you means something to me. Nobody is a fan but nobody is against me and only supporting me and helping me grow. Growth is something I’ve always never realized at first but appreciate so much of it now.
If you could be an animal, which one would you be?
Either a lion because of me seeing myself as a king and feeling like an animal or a cheetah because of my speed. I always find myself rushing and find myself as my own boss sometimes. I know how to set an example and demonstrate leadership which lions know how to do.
If you could snap your fingers and become an expert at something what would it be?
An architect of course because ever since I was 16 that’s all I ever wanted to. I’m in school currently so ofc for me I’m gonna want to be the best in what I study. I’m learning still but I’m confident once I’m done with school and continue to do great work at STA my dreams will officially come true
