What makes you the Next Runway Star?
Charisma. Uniqueness. Nerve. Talent. More importantly, I bring authenticity. I show up as myself with confidence, resilience, and a genuine love for fashion. The best runway stars don’t just wear the clothes—they make people feel something.
What would this once in a lifetime experience mean to you and why?
This would mean more than just walking a runway; it would be a chance to prove to myself that it’s never too late to chase something that once felt out of reach. For years I put everyone else first and doubted whether I was enough. Fashion has become a way for me to express who I truly am, and this opportunity would celebrate that journey. Whether I win or not, I hope someone watching sees that confidence isn’t something you’re born with, it’s something you build by choosing yourself over and over again.
What are you most proud of about yourself or what have you overcome and why?
I’m most proud that I never stopped growing. I’ve overcome self-doubt, learned to embrace who I am, and found the confidence to take up space instead of shrinking myself for others. I’m resilient, hardworking, and genuine. Every challenge I’ve faced has made me stronger, and today I’m proud of the woman I’ve become because I earned every bit of that confidence.
What would you do with the $20,000 cash prize?
I would use the money to create more opportunities for myself and my family. I’d pay down debt, build financial stability, and invest in my future through modeling, personal branding, and professional development. Most importantly, I’d show my children that taking a chance on yourself can change your life. Winning wouldn’t just be an achievement. It would be the beginning of something bigger.
