**What is your favorite place to create TikToks and why?**
If i’m filming tiktoks outside my favorite place is film is in my backyard on the balcony. It has perfect lighting right at golden hour so my melanin is always poppin’
**If you have to eat one thing for the rest of 2020, what is it?**
I think most of my followers know how much I LOVE chicken nuggets so i’d definitely say that for sure
**When do you feel powerful?**
I feel powerful when i’m performing. Every time I go to events like Vidcon and Playlist Live I always put on a flash mob with a set of choreography. I feel anxious until the music starts and everyone is so into the moment; it’s an amazing feeling.
**What are three things that make you feel fortunate?**
My mother; she is so strong, loving and accepting of me I’m lucky as an 1st generation african-american to have her.
My friends, I don’t think I would be as confident with myself if it wasn’t for my friends always supporting me when I didn’t have that support from family
My boyfriend; i’m so lucky to have him in my life; he’s literally my best friend I love him so much.
**How did your relationship with TikTok change in quarantine?**
t was definitely hard since I couldn’t see my friends or travel to collab with people like normal I’ve had to learn how to be more creative with my tiktok ideas and make content by myself. This helped me in the best way though because now I know how to keep myself motivated & continue to create content
**Which current injustice is important to you and why?**
I feel like there are definitely way to many to choose from. The obvious choice would be police brutality against black people in this country but in general there is so much work to be done. This country has never fully been “great” for black people and it’s evident when you take a look at the prison system, education, lack of resources toward youth initiatives. I would love to see what changes come into fruition in the next months & years to support black youth & their success in this country.
**If you could create your own superpower, what would it be?**
Give me gorgeous angel wings I would love to be able to fly if anything !
