Interests

Outside of modelling, I enjoy hosting events, travelling, and enjoying multiple media formas: cinema, music and literature from various decades.

Current Situation

Change of career to hairdressing in order to provide more for People of Colour in my community. I spent my time away from education to create more connections and continue to pursue activism.

Life Ambitions

Host fully-inclusive events, such as a film festivals, and use modelling as a platfomr for more minorities and other alternative LGBTQ+ women of colour.
