My journey began in the womb, fighting for life as one of a surviving twin. This early battle forged a path marked by struggles against numerous adversities. By the time I was five, I found myself thrust into the modeling world, my choice but also very much due to my parents' aspirations. Beauty pageants turned into a façade, teaching me to wear a plastic smile while inner turmoil churned beneath the surface.

As I navigated my formative years, I endured a painful array of abuses—sexual, physical, and emotional. Sexual abuse made its mark early on, leaving deep scars. To escape the anguish, I sought solace in substance abuse at just 14, slipping into a dark cycle of addiction that numbed my suffering momentarily but ultimately deepened it.

The pressures of the modeling industry weighed heavily on me, leading to many nights spent battling bulimia and anorexia, conditions that ensnare countless young women.

At 26, I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, an excruciating reminder of how my lifestyle had betrayed me. Prescribed pain medications, deepening the depths of addiction.

Despite these overwhelming challenges, I managed to carve out a successful modeling career. With 7 modelling school branches across the country. However, in 2004, I heard a profound calling from God, urging me to leave that life behind. It was one of the most difficult decisions I’ve ever faced, breaking free from a very false empire I had built on superficiality and pain.

Very shortly after this I faced the journey through my divorce. It was heart-wrenching yet transformative, paving the way for me to rediscover my true self—unfettered by the spotlight’s demands.
