“I’m known to be a photographer and poet, I plan to be a lawyer in my future because it’s my passion. I enjoy my kid years, but it’s time for me to evolve. I am fighting for the rights for everyone to have equal justice, so everyone is treated the same and not different because we’re all human and we should trust each other, and not give up. Why I believe my issue is important is because people are always getting criticized because of how they look, or what they identify as, which is messed up because this is everyone‘s home and they all deserve a chance like others. My photos represent anything really. I try to be creative with all my photos, and I’m attempting to take photos that show discrimination of people.”

“challenges come and goes
challenges constantly
movement and confusion
timing is moving around
showing our moments
two hearts connecting into one
one soul can’t be another
talent required trying
committed with many things
continue the same energy
like lightning rushing
love is a strong word
motive can be anything
let it happen
beauty isn’t one
but the heart is”
