Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

My dance style is majorette and hip hop mostly! But I can adapt to any! My inspiration comes from being in high school. I wasn’t able to showcase my dance capabilities like I truly wanted and then I found out about the Alabama state University Honeybeez (a plus size dance team). After seeing what those ladies were capable of doing, I made it my mission to join the team and show what I’m made of. They inspired me to become the dancer I am today!

How would being in Ciara's music video impact your life?

Being in Ciara’s music video will impact my life in so many ways. It would boost my profile as a plus size dancer and open up more opportunities. It would also be a great way to showcase my skills and creativity that not many plus size dancers have the opportunity to do.

What would you do with the $20,000?

With $20,000, I would use that money to further my education as well as help my family back home. I don’t come from a wealthy family which has decreased my opportunities to go as far as I’ve wanted to in life. This money would help me be able to go for as many opportunities as I can in the dance world!
