"Be the beauty you wish to see more of in the world." This is what I have strived to live my life by. My modeling & acting career has been backed by this since it's founding in 2014, at my age of 17. By 18 I had been cast in feature film Beyond The Night and present onscreen in film and trailers. I am now 26, I have lived more of a life than most, yet I have only support to give. I wish to uphold the representation that mental health conditions do not subtract your beauty. You are beautiful, you deserve respect, you deserve to be treated equal. That you never deserved the trauma that scared you. That you survived it. Even though everyday afterwards is hard, the hardest part is being part of that next day after. Staying strong to stay here, to keep trying. That is the beauty I wish to fulfill through my modeling & acting career. My scars tell my story, although I've been given it all over having them. I understand I am not the only one, like how a tigers stripes are not just on their fur, but down to their skins, we all have scars that tell our stories. Some physical, some mental, some emotional, some scars come about in ways I can't describe. Mental health conditions cause us to break our molds. To become truly unique, in a way I see my scars as good damage. My tiger stripes. My stories of surviving traumas and still facing them every day. My goal is to inspire all others who are battling their personal traumas, their mental health conditions; to be responsible for themselves, to see the beauty that is themselves and make the most of themselves anyway. I wish to inspire pride, unique individuality, alternative evolution, support to those who need it. My modeling and acting career, I have always seen as a art form to inspire others to find the beauty in themselves, as in my photos, my scars are not edited out, they are there for all the world to see. These are my stories, I survived, I am here. We are stronger together.
