Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

My dance style is mostly freestyle hip hop and African dance, especially growing up in New York being inspired by street dancers who are free in their movement. My dance inspiration is Missy Elliot dance videos and the jersey club scene.

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

It would give me a once in a lifetime opportunity to showcase a talent that I haven’t showcased in a long time. It would also help me show my sisters that if an opportunity arises, then they have to take it and fight for it

What would you do with the $20,000?

Help my parents and get through college to support my dreams of becoming a social worker
