Hey guys, I'm so excited to collaborate
0:02
with Teens Want to Know so that I can be
0:04
able to answer their questions and you
0:06
guys can be able to get to know me
0:08
better and my experiences.
0:10
The first question is the most rewarding
0:12
moment so far as a model and a pageant
0:15
title holder. For me, it has to be
0:17
starting my own organization, Huminity.
0:20
As you guys know, I have been supporting
0:22
various organizations and charities
0:24
around Canada to help women and girls to
0:26
get the resources, education, and
0:28
freedom that they deserve. And I have
0:31
been able to co-create an organization
0:33
with various other charities and be able
0:36
to have a team of teachers, leaders,
0:39
change makers, and just advocate
0:41
speeches, sell bookmarks, and raise
0:44
money towards this great cause. Being
0:46
able to donate my time but also my
0:49
platform towards this such important
0:50
issue that I feel like does not get
0:52
addressed enough in the real world is so
0:55
important for me and I'm so excited to
0:57
make a change and it has to be my most
0:59
rewarding moment so far to be able to
1:01
see the amount of change that we have
1:03
been making and what we can do as next
1:05
steps to be able to make sure that
1:08
everyone gets the same equality, same
1:10
resources, freedom and rights that they
1:13
truly deserve. Now the next thing is
1:15
that something that gives me edge and
1:17
something that is the most powerful
1:18
thing about me and that has to be my
1:21
confidence. Um I know this with a
1:23
pageant question that was asked to me
1:25
and this has to be the most powerful
1:27
thing about me because I believe that
1:29
whenever I go into a room whenever I'm
1:32
scared, nervous, and afraid I believe
1:34
that my confidence is always going to be
1:36
there with me handling me through
1:38
situations I might be an uncomfortable
1:40
in and something that's out my comfort
1:42
zone. But I truly know that if I believe
1:44
in myself, my worth, and what I want to
1:47
do in life, that, you know, even through
1:49
these hardships and hard situations I go
1:51
through, I can truly be able to make it.
1:53
I believe to everyone out there who's
1:55
watching this that may be scared,
1:57
embarrassed to try new things. Trust me,
2:00
confidence is the most powerful trait
2:02
that anyone can have. And once you start
2:04
carrying it, you truly feel like a new
2:07
The third question is, what is the
2:09
biggest peer pressure for teens and how
2:11
do I handle it? Personally, I believe
2:13
the biggest peer pressure for teens is
2:15
what you're watching this on right now,
2:16
which is social media. Many creators
2:19
like me have a very large base off teens
2:23
and a lot of kids watching our content.
2:25
And I'm also a teen myself who is uh
2:30
working on social media, who's a content
2:31
creator, and is constantly posting on
2:33
social media platforms. But that does
2:35
not mean that I do not think that social
2:37
media can be a peer pressure. It can be
2:39
because it can affect many young kids of
2:42
today's generation. We are constantly
2:44
comparing ourselves to celebrities and
2:46
people online if that is based off
2:48
physical appearance, how we look, the
2:50
way we dress, what we do, and also some
2:53
people may be pursuing habits that may
2:55
look cool on social media but we're not
2:58
comfortable doing but we want to so we
3:00
can fit in a specific group. Now, I
3:03
think that it is so important to be able
3:05
to stay true with yourself. For a very
3:07
long time, when I started on social
3:08
media in the modeling world, I was so so
3:11
scared. I was so insecure. I thought I
3:14
was uncomfortable where I was. I thought
3:16
that I did not belong. But that is not
3:18
true at all. You are so perfect in your
3:21
own way. And I think it is so important
3:23
to understand that if you are confident,
3:26
if you know who you are, and you know
3:28
the worth that you uphold, that you
3:30
truly can be able to pursue anything.
3:32
and you don't have pressure or peers
3:34
telling you what to do. That people
3:36
would be very surprised about knowing
3:38
about me is that before modeling, I
3:40
actually wanted to become a professional
3:42
football player. I've been loving soccer
3:45
whenever I was younger. I've been
3:46
playing it basically my whole entire
3:48
life. And before modeling, acting,
3:51
pageantss, all of it, I honestly wanted
3:53
to do, you know, soccer. I want to
3:55
pursue this as a profession, but I just
3:58
started doing photo shoots and stuff and
4:00
I thought that I was more interested in
4:02
this. But I do still love playing soccer
4:05
and I still love sports just in general.
4:07
So grateful that I was given the word of
4:09
valatoran in my grade A class. But two
4:11
of the things I'm actually looking most
4:13
forward to in high school because there
4:15
is a lot, but the two that are the most
4:17
highlighted in the next four years are
4:20
first being able to build more
4:21
friendships and connections with people.
4:24
I went to a very small middle school of
4:26
like basically 37 kids, which most
4:29
public schools usually have like over a
4:31
hundred. So, I'm so excited to go to
4:34
high school and be able to build new
4:35
friendships, meet new people, and
4:38
overall just have a really great time
4:39
with everyone that I do meet. And I'm so
4:42
excited to be able to start taking new
4:44
leadership in my new school. I had so
4:47
much fun making clubs, joining sports,
4:49
and stuff in this school. So, I cannot
4:51
wait in high school to see what I can do
4:54
next. Thank you so much to Fur Teens
4:56
Want to Know being able to ask me all
4:58
these questions. I was so happy to share
5:00
my answers and my experiences with you.
5:03
Make sure to go follow them on Instagram
5:05
and follow me because I will be sharing
5:07
very new things soon on my modeling,
5:10
pageant, and high school journey. Bye.
