- What inspired the concept/styling behind the shoot?: I love the 2000’s because when I was a kid I thought my decade was lame and hated the style and would claim the 90’s because I’m a 90’s baby. Now I see the beauty in the natural glam and low rise jeans and pointy shoes of this era. Kinda my ode to the decade that I didn’t realize molded my style.
- What was the decision behind casting Jade?: I casted Jade because she' inspires me as a creative. She’s out here grinding making moves as an actress. I see how she genuinely loves her craft and thought it would be cool to create content since she’s so lowkey haha! Also she’s gorgeous, and gives me 2000’s natural beauty, perfect for the shoot concept.

- What you do for a living? Actress
- What motivates you to continue pursuing your dreams? Seeing my other friends succeed and my family back home motivates me to keep pushing forward!
To further explain what keeps me going is:
To see Black girls out there looking for someone to speak up for them and have their back. I want to be their pillar of strength and someone they can look up to on a human level. I don't want to be a role model because i’m still growing as a person but I definitely want Black girls to feel like they are seen because of the doors that were created for me to walk through in order for me to create another door they will soon walk through. The city of New Orleans also motivates me because I wanna bring back so many opportunities that empowers the Black community.
