Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

My dance style is creative, innovative, energetic, explosive, and super bouncy. I mix a combination of every dance genre (ballet, modern, jazz, African, and hip hop), and that's what makes it so authentic. You won't see my dance style anywhere else. Guess what? (lol) I even named my dance style as hip hop, jazz, sexy, majorette, because that's what you will see. I am inspired by dancers who have raw talent and a dance skill that they have mastered and perfected like Ciara and Beyonce.

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

Being in Ciara's music video would be life-changing for me. I belong on the big stage. That is where I get my energy from. Dance, for me, is blood, sweat, and tears. I put my all into my art. It's what I was called to do. Some people go through life not knowing what their mission or vision is. Well, ladies and gentlemen reading this - I know what my life's purpose is. It is to tell stories and heal people through my dance art. It is how I express myself through the good, the bad, and the ugly.

What would you do with the $20,000?

I am passionate about empowering the youth by putting them in a position to succeed. I created a "Youth Speak Up" movement to provide a platform to engage youth to use their voices on issues that significantly impact them, such as the school-to-prison pipeline, criminal justice, education, and poverty. I would like to expand those efforts. I would also like to continue creating compelling dance film art to tell a story that "women and girls are beautiful and confident.
