Describe THAT moment when you realized you’re doing what you were born to do.
It was Thursday night, in a small and sweaty black box theatre. The spotlight turned on and there was my small sister with her teddy bear. I approached from the darkness and kneeled next to her. I spoke to her but she couldn’t hear or see me – I was dead. Or at least, my character was dead. I apologized to her for intentionally leaving this world but said I wish I could take it back if it meant I could be with her. As the scene went on, I heard the crowd sniffle and weep. It was then I realized I moved hearts that night & thats what I wanted to do for the rest of my life, move mountains and hearts.
What’s been the biggest challenge you’ve had to go through and how did you grow through it?
My hardest challenge has been my mental battles. I struggle with mild clinical depression and cycles of manic and depressive episodes. This has lead to long periods of healthy isolation and struggling in silence. It wasn’t until I was more transparent about my struggles that I started to get more control and empowerment. While I still struggle and it affects every area of my life, I’m pushing through day by day.
