Community service is important, what would you consider your most rewarding experience? I enjoy speaking to young people and adults across the country, encouraging them to do their best, love themselves, and to reach for higher heights. The most important aspect of community service is being able to empower others! In addition to community service, I am laying the foundation for a talk show that will encourage others to attain their dreams and goals. Through my books, speaking and upcoming multi-media ventures, my goal is to impact the lives of many that face struggles of physical and sexual abuse, poor self- concept and abandonment. My passion is to ensure that every life I touch will become more meaningful. |
When we see a model, we think: she’s so lucky.. she has it all, beauty, nice clothes, money. But we don’t see what’s on the inside. It could be ugliness, self-doubt or even self-hatred. We don’t know what models’ lives are really like, or were like. Beauty is only skin deep. Behind the beauty, there is oftentimes emotional turmoil. Young girls all over the world see pictures of models on magazine covers and on TV and wish to have a life like the ones they imagine the models’ lives are like. But imagine growing up with abuse and hatred. How do we overcome the feelings rooted within us? How will we become happy? |
