1. What kind of BARBIE do you think you’d be?
I believed all Disney princesses were real and all fairy tales were true. I believed Cinderella rode in a pumpkin carriage, pixie dust could make me fly, and that Jasmine flew on a magic carpet. Although I grew out of that belief, my obsession for disney still remains and just like Jasmine, I live with the motto that believing in yourself can open up a whole new world.
2. What’s the weirdest item you keep by your bed?
I wish I was a strong vocalist. Although the Lord blessed me with a voice, it is not one for singing publicly. That doesn't stop me from having the best living room concerts with my 7 year old brother, singing his favorite song Super Bass.
3. What cartoon character do you relate to the most and why?
Laradius Stepehens, my highschool vice principal, has been my biggest supporter. My junior year she called me into her office and asked if I had ever considered competing in a pageant. My quick response was “no” “never”. It was the farthest thing from my mind. It was because of many conversations with her, words of wisdom, and encouragement that made me enter my first pageant and place in the top ten. Today I am not the same person I was when I started my pageant journey. I know who I am, I am confident, and I believe in sharing my platform and this message to others. I owe this all to Lardius Stephens.
4. Would you time travel to the past or future?
My mom took our Halloween costumes very seriously. When I was six our family dressed up as The Incredibles.My dad was Mr. Incredible, my mom was Mrs Incredible, and I was Violet.
5. How would your parents describe your personality?
Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus will hands-down always be one of my favorite songs. In kindergarten I got to perform a dance to this song in a fluffy yellow dress and I can still remember all of the choreography even today.
