My Passion Is To Tell Stories That

Our Culture Is Revered And It Inspires People All Around The Globe.

I Grew Up In A Family Where We Weren't Allowed To Talk About Beauty Or To Put Any Emphasis On Physical Appearance.

At The Beginning, My Ambition Was Never To Break Down Doors. It Was Just To Earn Tuition For Myself And Work In An Industry Where Women Hadn't Been Allowed Or Invited. That's All I Wanted To Do, Not Thinking That I Would Make Waves, Change Minds, Excite People, Incite People, Turn On People, Repulse People.

I Think People Will Have Great Conversations About Religions, Women's Sexuality, Gender Issues And Gay Issues.

My Mother Really Wanted Me To Be In Possibly A Beauty Pageant, Not Only For If I Could Win, But It Helped Improve My Self-image Because Of Trauma In My Childhood And Other Issues.
