What makes you the Next Runway Star?
I am real, authentic and genuine. I shine with all the colors of the universe and reflect onto others to show their brightness as well. I enjoy the smilple things as much as I do the big things. I appreciate even the smallest of gestures. I listen to the music of the world and dance to the flow of good will and warm energies.
What would this once in a lifetime experience mean to you and why?
This once in a lifetime experience would add to the magic of living in my desire reality. It's sharing the electricity of a shared experience and having a good time while providing a good show and giving the people the same feeling. Making that electric "good feel" vibe vibrate through the air. This would make core memories and ripples for all those I would cross paths with. And champion to go for their own "once in a lifetime experience".
What are you most proud of about yourself or what have you overcome and why?
What I am most proud of is refraining my mindset. Being able to flip a bad day into a good one. I have health issues (fibromylgia, EDS, PNSV are the main ones that cause other issues as well) that have permanently hindered my life in every way. Overcoming the negative thoughts and toxic people that were around me that infested my mind because of people not believing in my health struggles and going through them alone as well. Channeling to put out my positive energy and thoughts to create my desired wants and being able to live life as long as I can with my disabilities and help those with similar paths along the way. I needed to better my own thoughts of myself to be able to be there and guide my son, and others if needed, to be able to appreciate life in its whole and less of the negative cloudy view. I adapt, I look for a solution to still find the bright and colorful side of things.
What would you do with the $20,000 cash prize?
I'm appreciative for $20 dollars, so that goes without saying $20,000 would make me feel like the impossible is happening. There would be some saving, and a little fun money for experiences I want to give my son and furbaby. Then, I would give some to my parents as they deserve to be treated with their "once in lifetime experience" as well and get to live like a kid.
