1. What kind of BARBIE do you think you’d be?
If I were a Barbie, I’d be the Empowered Fashion Barbie. I believe that fashion is more than style ; it’s a voice. The way we dress can express who we are and build real self-confidence. When a girl feels proud in what she wears, she walks stronger and believes in herself. I’d inspire young girls to use fashion to celebrate their identity with courage and joy.
2. What’s the weirdest item you keep by your bed?
The weirdest item I keep by my bed is my tiny Winnie-the-Pooh blanket from when I was a baby. It’s faded and fragile, but I refuse to let it be washed or thrown away. It represents comfort, innocence and the strength I’ve carried from childhood into my teenage years. In moments of pressure, it reminds me where I come from and helps me stay grounded, grateful and resilient.
3. What cartoon character do you relate to the most and why?
I’ve always related to Shimmer and Shine. They’re bubbly, optimistic and fun, yet they prove that when plans go wrong, creativity, teamwork and a big smile can fix anything. Their sparkle reminds me to stay playful but purposeful. Whether I’m chasing dreams or supporting others, I carry their shine bright spirit ; because a positive heart and mind can make any wish come true.
4. Would you time travel to the past or future?
I’d choose the future. I’m someone who focuses forward, never dwelling on the past. My curiosity burns for what’s next; every goal I chase, every dream I build excites me because hard work turns possibilities into reality. The future is where my efforts becomes impact, where today’s hustle creates tomorrow’s magic. That’s the timeline I’m racing toward with open arms and an unstoppable heart.
5. How would your parents describe your personality?
My parents would describe my personality as driven, confident and deeply compassionate. They see me as someone who sets high goals and works tirelessly to achieve them, while still staying kind, grounded and respectful. They often say I’m resilient under pressure and naturally positive, able to bring calm and encouragement to others. Above all, they believe my determination and heart make me a strong, purposeful young woman.
