Who are your biggest influences and people you admire and why?
My mom—I admire her and her strength, being alone in a world with no one to run to
for help. She is my my biggest influence, and she’s the reason that I’m doing all of this,
not just for me but for her. She worked day and night to make anything happen for me.
She grew up in poverty at a young age, and she didn’t get the chance to finish school
our fulfill any of her dreams. She never had guidance, so she wanted to show me
different, and I will forever admire her for her strength and keeping it together when
she didn’t need to be so strong but she did for me. She’s one of the most selfless
woman I know, and I hope I’m half the woman she is.
None of us are able to achieve success without some help along the way. Is
there a particular person who you are grateful towards who helped get you to
where you are?
Yes my mom once again. She never gave up on me or my dreams. I was a hard child. I
don’t know how she dealt with me, but she did, and I will forever love her for never
giving up on me. She made all of this happen for me.
She put me first and my dreams before anything else.
She knew I wanted it and she was going to make
it happen. I will forever be grateful, and I
couldn’t ask for a better role model.
What do you see as your greatest
success in life?
My greatest success is empowering
our generation to have a voice, to
stand up for what’s right, and to make
a difference. I want to have a platform
to use my resources and help build
schools and homes for other kids in countries—
but not just donate—actually go to other countries
and build it with them. I want to help as much as I
can in this world, and empower young kids my age
who go through struggles at home and poverty. I
was a little girl with so many hopes and dreams, and
I thought because I didn’t have I couldn’t make it in
such a big industry or anything. I didn’t think I had a
purpose or a destiny, so my greatest success will go
towards our generation to help others—that’s all I
ever wanted to do. My greatest success before I
leave this world will be knowing I made a difference
for others and being a helping hand.
