The things that inspire me are people that complain about
problems because then I can give them a solution and get to help them. My mum
inspires me everyday to do my best and work hard. Ellen Degeneres is definitely
one of my biggest inspirations.
You are a Speaker,
Author, YouTuber and Artist and have been building up your own brand over the
past year – what advice would you give to others who want to do that?
If you want to be a speaker, successful YouTuber or
entrepreneur you need work hard for it. Many people look at what I do as
"easy" but the only reason why I am successful with what I do is
because I worked hard and I had an important purpose.
What are your dreams
for the future?
My dreams for the future is to travel around the world and
be known as a speaker globally, I also want to have over 1 million subscribers
on YouTube, my art work in famous galleries, to be an award-winning actress and to have
been awarded an Oscar.
Who is your role
model and why?
Ellen Degeneres because she helps people in the best
possible ways. Nobody needs to help people it's that we want to help and Ellen
is in that section of people. I've always been brought up to help people and my mum is a huge part of my life.
What motivates you to
do your very best?
The thing that inspires me to do my best is children.
Children because they are our next generation and they bring life and happiness
to this world, if we have the chance to inspire and help them to inspire others
then we NEED to grab it!
Please finish this
sentence: I am possible because….
I am possible because I am unique, special, outstanding,
extraordinary, fabulous and inspiring.
What do you think of
Isossy Children clothing? The brand aims to empower and inspire children who
wear them – is that something you can see in the clothing?
I think it's important for clothes to express younger people
and letting them be themselves. If I wore the clothes I would feel free, empowered , confident and brave . I would also feel graceful.
What words of wisdom
do you think every child should grow up knowing?
When every child grows up they need to know that they are
amazing, loved, unique and special. Every parent needs to tell their child
that they love them and remember to always connect with the child and let the
child open up.
