From a young age, I unknowingly lived with hearing loss, believing my experience of sound was universal. A diagnosis at age seven revealed a mild impairment that later became moderate, shaping both my education and daily communication.

Rather than letting these challenges define me, they became catalysts for growth—teaching resilience, empathy, and the importance of self-advocacy. They deepened my understanding of how it feels to fight to be seen and heard.

Now, my mission is to empower people of all abilities to embrace their uniqueness. Through fashion, storytelling, and awareness, I aim to make authenticity and inclusion the norm, driving a cultural shift toward compassion and representation.
