Fueling My Dream: The Support That Keeps Me Going

If there’s one thing I’ve learned on this journey, it’s that the people around you can make all the difference. Modeling may look like a solo pursuit from the outside, but behind every great shot or runway moment is a team of people who believe in you. Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to work with photographers, agencies, and supporters who’ve seen something in me—even during times when I didn’t see it in myself. Their encouragement has fueled me in ways I can’t always put into words.

Every time someone tells me I have potential, it reignites my drive. From the photographers who give me their all on set to the agencies that took a chance on me, every bit of support has meant the world. Hearing people genuinely acknowledge my growth and talent is a reminder that I’m on the right path, especially as I prepare to walk in New York Fashion Week. This dream has been years in the making, and knowing that I have people cheering me on is incredibly powerful. It’s a reminder that I’m not alone in this journey, and that the vision I have for my future is not only possible but supported by so many others.

My followers, too, have become a huge part of this. Every kind message, comment, or bit of encouragement I receive online makes me feel like I’m building something bigger than myself. Their belief in me reminds me why I keep going, even on days when I feel the weight of it all. This support has given me the courage to push harder, step out of my comfort zone, and continue growing. It’s made all the difference in my journey, and I’m grateful beyond words. With this incredible support system behind me, I feel more ready than ever to step onto that NYFW runway and give it my all. I know I wouldn’t be here without the encouragement of every person who’s cheered me on along the way. This journey is just as much theirs as it is mine.
