Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

My dance style is a mixture of majorette, hip hop, jazz funk, and I also grew up jigging. A few of my inspirations are Amari Marshall and Sean Bankhead. Sean Bankhead has been an inspiration to me since I saw his choreography for 'Who Run the World.' He amazes me every time he puts together a piece. Amari Marshall has inspired me as a plus-size woman who has been breaking down multiple barriers. Seeing her dance affirms that no matter what size I am, I am still of value, and my light will shine

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

Being in Ciara’s music video would immensely impact my life and finally give me the chance to be seen. This opportunity would mark the start of my journey. Not only would I be able to jump-start my career as a dancer, but I would also be dancing for The Ciara. I have been watching her since the very start of her career and have been an avid supporter. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity would open so many doors for me, all of which would align with my journey.

What would you do with the $20,000?

I would use the $20,000 to help pay off some of my student loans. This would relieve some of the pressure of consistently working 40+ hours a week and would truly be a financial blessing for me. Lowering my student loan balance would help me pursue my dance dreams because it would provide more financial freedom to attend dance conventions like Monsters and travel to different cities for training. I want to invest in my future, and this would help me along my journey.
