I'm trying to grow older with wisdom.

I believe that true beauty comes from inside you and that always shows through. I have no problem with whatever the next look is, whether it's big blonde hair and blue eyes or green hair and dark eyes. That's fine so long as there isn't just one ideal image.

Beauty is deeper than just what you look at in a picture. You could fancy what you like, but as a woman my mother always raised us to believe in ourselves. I'm very grateful for the fact that my mother brought me up that way.

Fashion shows are glamorous for 20 minutes.

For me, there has never been one definition of beauty. I think we all have something to offer and when beauty shines from within, there can be no denying it

To have this opportunity, in light of my familys struggles, made me want to create something lasting and relevant.

Maybe I do have a few more dresses, but I'm just like everyone else.
