Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

My dance style is similar to Ciara’s, I grew up on Michael and Janet Jackson. Growing up my parents didn’t have enough money for dance classes but the talent and passion is deep in my soul, I know I was born to dance!

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

It would fulfill a dream I’ve had for so long! For the longest I’ve wanted to be come a professional dancer and perform live with artists. I would be so grateful to be able to have this opportunity to be in Ciara’s video!!!

What would you do with the $20,000?

I would save but I’d also take care of my family. My husband has been handling all of our finances since I got laid off and I’m a mother of three and it’s been hard for us. My parents and sister has been very helpful to me as well and I’d love to be able to give back to them. I’d also like to donate to my church because being in the presence of the Lord is what’s getting me through these trying times.
