1. What kind of BARBIE do you think you’d be?
As a child, our family tradition involved weekly gatherings where the Wii was the centerpiece. Engaging in spirited competitions, particularly ‘Just Dance’ our favorite songs bounced between “Cherry Tree” and "Who Let the Dogs Out," those moments were always of profound joy and laughter.
2. What’s the weirdest item you keep by your bed?
If I could own a piece of clothing, it would undoubtedly be Ariana Grande's hot pink boots from her Sweetener Tour in 2019. The entire four-piece outfit was not only stunning but also an epitome of style.
3. What cartoon character do you relate to the most and why?
The transition from spring to summer is my favorite season. Witnessing the rejuvenation after winter and the anticipation of a bustling summer ahead creates a beautiful and invigorating atmosphere. You can practically feel the sun telling you the year has kicked off.
4. Would you time travel to the past or future?
‘Dumplin' holds a special place in my heart. This empowering movie revolves around a teen girl who fosters body positivity and acceptance among herself and her friends. It’s truly inspiring the chances we can make in our daily lives.
5. How would your parents describe your personality?
The song "I Was Here" by Beyoncé resonates deeply with me. Beyoncé's inspirational contributions to society mirror my aspirations for positive changes and empowerment, making this song a reflection of my personal journey and the mark I would like to leave on the world.
