Moved to Seattle a place I knew nothing about and never been
I was scared to leave my friends and family, but excited to start a new chapter.
Threw myself into new experiences and events and constantly said yes to things
This led to things like modeling in a fashion show, meeting NBA players, speaking at creator events, and getting invited to experiences I never imagined being a part of.
Built genuine friendships and found a community.
Moving to Seattle alone was scary, but putting myself out there was worth it.
Collected more passport stamps and unforgettable memories.
Every trip, just made me want to explore the world even more.
Slowly learning that growth comes from doing things before you feel ready.
Most of my favorite experiences started with uncertainty.
One year later, here's what I'd tell my younger self:
Take the chance.
There were so many moments I wanted to play it safe, wait until I felt ready, or overthink the next step.
Looking back now, almost everything I'm grateful for started with a decision that scared me.
