As someone who's wrestled with confidence and wrestled with self-doubt, I'm eagerly waiting for that day when I'll strut like I'm walking on water, riding high on a wave of self-assurance. Even though people have told me I'm beautiful, I truly believe it feels like climbing Everest.

Being a visible minority, it's like navigating through a maze where the pressure to fit into the typical beauty mold feels like a tight squeeze. And let's not even get started on the term "white face"—it's's like a constant reminder of the struggle for genuine representation. But despite all these hurdles, I'm standing tall, proudly embracing my blackness, flaws and all. My goal? Inspire young girls to see that beauty isn't just skin deep.

In a world that's slowly but surely learning to celebrate diversity, I'm here to be the poster child for inclusivity. We're all uniquely made, like a bunch of snowflakes with different shapes and sizes. And those little imperfections? They're what make us special, not something to hide away.

Modeling isn't just about posing for pretty pictures; it's my chance to tell the story of my people—one of resilience, strength, and overcoming odds. I'm here to represent a community that's often sidelined, but definitely not forgotten.

And when I'm not striking a pose, I'm busy crafting characters for Singularity X Studios and spinning tales as the lead storytelling artist/designer for Peer Circle. Modeling for me is an expression, a story waiting to be told and an expression of my identity in God, not just a pretty picture on a maggazine cover.
