- Career goal
Growing up I've always dreamt of being an influencer, someone who can reach out and connect to people from all races, cultures, and different age groups through music. Since a young age music always touched me in a way that simple language could not. Music has enabled me to express feelings in ways I could never before and with that I want to speak to people through my music and inspire them. I want people to see that life is only what they make it and that although the world may knock them down plenty of times, they should always continue to follow their dreams.
I also want to go to college for business. To be an entrepreneur has always been something I always knew I had to be beside being a musical influencer. Growing up working 9 to 5’s in and out of all these companies never felt right.. I knew that after my first job I had to be my own boss and that I wanted to be able to say something is COMPLETELY all mine and that I made it as a young black woman in America. Running a clothing business has been something on my mind since I was a little girl and being so in love with fashion and being Black I thought that if I create a clothing business that incorporates black culture I can bring the African American Culture back to life.
