I’ve been inspired by icons like Debbie Allen, MJ, Ciara & Chris Brown in my dance style. Dance is in my heart. I eat, sleep & breathe dance

Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

I’m trained in many styles but hip-hop and jazz have a special place in my heart. Growing up, I studied dancers like Ciara, Debbie Allen, Chris Brown, and Royal Family to develop my personal dance style. I love experimenting with musicality and using attitude to add personal flair to my moves.

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

Growing up, I never had easy access to dance training. My father spent the little extra money he had to fund my dance education and provide me with the avenues to achieve my dreams. I had to work extremely hard for the opportunities I’ve been given and I want to show other little black girls that they can do the same.

What would you do with the $20,000?

I currently have no way to pay for my college expenses. My father is diabetic which affects his ability to work. My future is riding all on my own shoulders at the age of 17. I used it to pay for my college expenses and start my own charity for children in underprivileged communities like my own who want to pursue fields that aren’t accessible to them.
