“I knew that talent lay inside of me, but society was constantly trying to break me down… I started to believe I could accomplish anything no matter what people saw on the outside. Confidence is what inspires me to create and design. When everything else fails, I will always continue to BELIEVE in myself and in my unique creative vision.”
