Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

I’m a multi-genre dancer, blending hip hop, ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, and contemporary, each style a piece of who I am. Dancers/choreographers like Charlize Glass, Misty Copeland, Michaela DePrince, Chloe Arnold, Judith Jamison,Paris Goebel and Debbie Allen. Artists like Ciara, Missy Elliott, Beyoncé, and Normani, all inspired me to be the dancer and choreographer I am today. They taught me to be unapologetic, creative, and fearless for doing what you want.

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

Being in Ciara’s music video would be a life-changing moment that I could never fully put into words. It’s not just about dancing with her—it’s about being seen, being heard, and knowing that all the hours of sweat, sacrifice, praying and struggle have led me to this moment. Ciara has always been a source of inspiration, and to share the same space with her would be a dream realized. It would fuel my belief that I’m worthy, capable, and meant to do this—Glory

What would you do with the $20,000?

If I had $20,000, I’d invest in my growth by furthering my dance education and attending advanced workshops. I’d also want to provide free classes for dancers with limited access. A portion would go toward equipment for content creation, and I’d save for future goals. Ultimately, I’d use it to create a lasting impact and growth in both my life and my community.
