What makes you the Next Runway Star?
I could be the next runway star because aside from having a background walking runway I am not the norm of a runway model, I'm 5'1, multi ethnic indigenous, etc.
What would this once in a lifetime experience mean to you and why?
It would be an honor to represent the diaspora of lived experience of human trafficking, sexual violence, and being indigenous. I would be honored to being those issues to the forefront.
What are you most proud of about yourself or what have you overcome and why?
I've overcome exploitation, human rights violations, etc and am proud I overcame those issues as well as my vocations within the movement I've been blessed to undertake the past 13 years.
What would you do with the $20,000 cash prize?
I'd give back to non profits and human rights I am a supporter of.
