Get to know me | 30 Vogue Questions
If you know me, then you know that I am obsessed with Youtube. I love watching Youtube so much because to me it is an endless world of information and inspiration. Anything you want to know and learn, you can find it on youtube. There is a niche for everyone. Since I am a fashion lover, one of the segments I love to watch on Youtube is Vogue’s 73 questions. And if I am being honest a wild dream of mine is to be interviewed by the Vogue’s guy. However since there is no reason for him to knock on my door and interview me, I thought it would be fun and a great way for you reading this blog right now to get to know me a little bit better while I answer 30 questions by Vogue. Why 30? Last month I turned 30 so it’s only fitting I answer 30 questions. Here we go..
What’s your favorite time of day? Mid day, usually the warmest time of the day. It’s not to early and it’s a reminder that the day still has more to offer
What’s your go to bed ritual?

Window or aisle seat? Window seat! I love the feeling of taking off in a plane and being among the clouds so being able to have a closer look of the clouds just gives me joy
What’s your biggest fear in life? Rats. Girl, I can’t! It a phobia of mine. Crazy fact. I once had a mouse run through my student studio apartment (it was an old building)and I was scared to death and I immediately left the house and waited in a library nearby until my mom could come from another part of the country to help me deal with that issue. Luckily it was the first and last time I saw that mouse, and not long after I moved house. So just to show you I don’t play with those animals. Yes, I am a grown woman but I will call my mom with no shame.
Most adventurous thing you’ve done in your life? Move to the US for a temp job alone without me ever gone to the US before. I did not know anyone and I didn’t have a place or house to stay at before getting on the flight. I just booked a hotel 3 days and figured it out once I got there.
Must have clothing item everyone should have? A timeless structured blazer
What’s inspiring you in life right now? Educated women owning their own businesses, being extremely successful, making serious money and living a luxury lifestyle we all deserve. Women making moves to better their lives makes me happy and gets me super inspired for us.

Best advice you’d give your teenage self? You already know the woman you are going to be and you know you have the drive to get there. Now give yourself the time to get there. No need to rush. Take your time. Everything will happen when it is supposed to. Ps. Your future's so bright, that guy you are worrying about won’t be able to go to the next level with you.
A book that everyone should read? Feel the fear and do it anyway by Susan Jeffers. Such a relatable book and applicable to so many areas in our lives.
What would you like to be remembered for? A woman that brought light into every room she entered and left the room feeling a little bit better and brighter when she leaves. Whether it’s with a smile, a listening ear or a word of encouragement. I want to shine light in every room I enter and make people feel just that little bit better with my presence.
How do you define beauty? Soul energy shining from the inside out
What do you love most about your body? The color of my skin. Having this melanin skin isn’t always easy. It definitely comes with a lot of negative preconceptions but the beauty and richness of my skin and the strength and cultural history that it represents makes me proud of the skin I am in.
If your life were a song, what would the title be? With love and respect, I did it my way.
