“What’s a difficult situation you overcame in your life and what did you learn?”
“I was in Africa volunteering at a program teaching kids and it was too much but I didn’t stop doing it because I wanted to get a scholarship to go to school. I ended up getting in trouble for a part of me that I didn’t recognize or give credit to. That part of me, my sensuality, came out in a way that was inappropriate. One thing I’ve learned is to always be really true to yourself, know what your needs are, and realize we are dynamic people. Really recognizing what your authentic self is will help you navigate your way in life. I was in denial that I am a sensual, artistic person. That was one part of myself that I pushed down, but when push came to shove it exploded in a really not cool way. Since then I’ve brought myself together, so when I say ‘play’ it means constantly engaging your senses with curiosity so that you don’t all the sudden have an explosion somewhere in your life.”
