What makes your style stand out?

My style stands out because it blends confidence, authenticity, and boldness. I don’t hide behind trends as I make them my own, whether it’s rocking a pageant gown, farm boots, or streetwear. As a plus-size woman with invisible disabilities, I use fashion as both self-expression and advocacy, proving that style is not about fitting in but about owning who you are. My looks tell a story of resilience, empowerment, and embracing individuality unapologetically.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment is stepping onto the runway as a proud plus-size woman with invisible disabilities, showing that beauty, strength, and confidence come in every size and form. Too often, invisible disabilities go unseen, yet they deserve representation alongside every other body. I dream of breaking barriers in fashion and proving that authenticity, resilience, and self-love are the boldest looks one can wear.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000, I would complete critical renovations on my family’s farmhouse, furnish guest spaces, and add essential farm infrastructure to launch my dream business, The Henry BnB. This funding would allow me to generate revenue, expand into RV sites and educational field trips, and support my mom, a registered nurse who became disabled from a pulmonary embolism from COVID, by building a sustainable future for my family.
