I channel Elton John's fearless authenticity and flamboyant self-expression, using bold advocacy to break barriers around HIV stigma.
What makes your style stand out?
My style stands out through fearless authenticity and bold advocacy. Like Elton John's unapologetic flamboyance, I use personal storytelling and expressive arts to transform pain into power. The LGBTQ+ identity shines through passionate community leadership, to survive into thriving while demanding healthcare equity for marginalized communities with unwavering courage and vibrant self-expression.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment would be walking a red carpet in a custom rainbow sequined suit reminiscent of Elton John's iconic style, adorned with HIV awareness ribbons and Latino cultural elements. Standing before global media, they'd use this platform to deliver a powerful message about health equity, turning high fashion into advocacy—proving that true style comes from using your voice to uplift marginalized communities with unapologetic pride.
What would you do with $20,000?
"If I win Style Icon, I'll donate the $20K prize to Project Insight—an organization dedicated to serving individuals, youth, LGBTQ+, veterans, and active older adults in mental health through Expressive Arts programs. Together, we can combat depression, anxiety, loneliness, chronic health anxiety, isolation, and PTSD."
