What makes you the Next Runway Star?
A plus size, vitiligan model is needed. Instantly I capture eyes and I am bold and fierce. I love my body and I am walking and speaking for others like me with experience of leading shows, brands, and platforms.
What would this once in a lifetime experience mean to you and why?
It would be the booster my career has needed. I have so many accolades under my belt however the right one to make them all seen. I am on my 7th published book all with heart and meaning.
What are you most proud of about yourself or what have you overcome and why?
Fear. God did not give us the spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind. So many times fear tried to stop me and I never allowed it. Since I was a child with two colors and one day I just stepped out even more boldly than ever before. I shall continue. I will never give up.
What would you do with the $20,000 cash prize?
The cash prize would be amazing but truly hear me. I could and would be beyond honored to walk in New York Fashion Week. That opportunity alone you will do a service to my heart and soul. With the money I will continue to fund my business. My 7th book to be released this year will be amazing and it means so much to me. Amazing artistry and more. I want the release to be as amazing as the book. So 20,000 would definitely help me to secure that.
