I am not traditional in age, but I pack a punch with my unmatched zestful, zealous, spirit and clever gesticulation! I'm that icon!

Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

My inspiration is my middle sister whose demise three years ago transpired under questionable circumstances. She taught me the love of dance. We'd club every weekend bustin' a move in the "circles."

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

Let me tell you something, I was at the Essence Fest a few years ago when Ciara performed... I was battling her from the stands. When I say I was hoping someone would invite me on that stage! Now is my chance to dance alongside the icon herself! Being in her video would mean my dancing isn't in vain. My legacy in dance culture would live on.

What would you do with the $20,000?

I would use the money to help get my performing arts school for foster youth off the ground and dedicate it to my former foster mother Thelma Marie Griffin aka The Griff.
