I’m shy, but I have an alter ego that emerges when I dance, a fiery passion that God has given me, and I strive to follow His will

My dance style combines fluid and lyrical movements with sharp percussive accents incorporating isolations and improvisation to convey the emotion of the music through dynamic energy shifts and expressive body language.

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

Man. As I enter the New Year, I am a completely transformed individual, having spent most of my life being discouraged from pursuing a career in the entertainment industry as an actress and dancer, with many believing it to be an unstable profession, but it's truly all I know. God doesn't want me to do anything else. I just want the people who didn't believe in my walk to see that I did it. I no longer want to live in fear because I know that I can do it.

What would you do with the $20,000?

My first priority would be to take a two-week trip abroad to a waterfront location where I can meditate on my accomplishments, as I feel l do not do this enough, and water symbolizes cleansing and renewal, representing God's power and presence, after which I would establish my first small business to create generational wealth for my future family.
