What makes your style stand out?

My style stands out because it tells a story of power and autonomy. Growing up in a life where I was forbidden to explore, express, or even find myself, fashion became the language my voice never had. At 4’11, I use style to stand tall, blending elegance with boldness, softness with strength. I’m not here for fleeting trends, but to show that true style is about owning your identity, even when the world tries to silence it.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment would be stepping onto a runway where petite women like me are rarely represented, and proving that presence isn’t measured in height. For me, it would be more than just fashion. It would be reclaiming the freedom I was once forbidden to explore. And I’d want to inspire anyone who’s ever felt too small or too unseen, to stand tall in their own identity. And beyond that, I’d want to step out there to make my mom smile as she lives with a disability.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000, I’d finally have the freedom to pursue fashion and beauty, a path I was almost forbidden to explore growing up. I’d also give back to my mom, who lives with a disability and has spent much of her life unable to access her own identity and freedom as well. She’s sacrificed so much for us, and together, we’d move into a new space, build the fresh start we’ve longed for, and show that even from the most controlling environments, you can rise, stand tall, and shine.
