Whenever we’d get together for Christmas or Thanksgiving, we would sing in harmony, play around with music, or put on performances. It’s something I grew up with, and I’m so happy that I had it as an outlet. It’s really taking me to some fun places, and I’m excited about it! I love it. It’s everything to me. My mom. She’s always been there for me. She’s always helped me and guided me through my steps. She showed me how to be humble, how to take each step carefully and understand what I’m doing and the impact that my words and actions have. She’s my rock. I love her so much. She’s always pushing and encouraging me. Wow. That was last year. It’s mind-blowing. I’m so grateful for it. It’s taught me a lot of things. It’s taught me to enjoy every moment and never take anything for granted. Words can’t describe how grateful I am to be able to experience all the things I’ve experienced, especially me being from Baltimore. I was on Good Morning America—what the heck? I never saw myself doing that. I’m so grateful for everyone that showed interest in getting to know me. But there were a lot of moments where I would read things online, where a lot of people said horrible things about me. But I also had that group of people that have always supported me. I’m so grateful to be able to use my voice and platform for good and what I believe in. I’ve always had a passion for it. As a little girl, I looked up to those role models that used their platform for positivity. I remember how much of a difference that has made for me. I always wanted to be able to be that person. If I could make someone’s day by merely saying a few words of love and positivity, then that’s literally all I can ask for. I’m so grateful that I’m able to have an impact on certain people. I’m grateful to be in the position that I am. I love it.
