Toughest Shoot:

A horror-themed editorial where I was dressed as a patient in an old asylum, bandaged up and covered in fake blood, which was alcohol-based and on the bandage that covered my eyes. I modeled blindfolded, keeping my eyes totally closed or they would burn. Overall though, it was a great learning experience.

Favorite Shoot:

Summer of 2015 with Kerri Jean photographing, Julie Powers on makeup, and Chie Sharp doing hair. Dressed me up in a rainbow wig and white dress and I just flow-posed. It was a lot of fun, and ended up becoming the image I use most to represent myself. It has a very “LGBT pride” feel to it.

Some Things Most People Would Never Guess About Me:

I am a serious video game player. I love deep, story-oriented, single-player experiences. I play video games the way an avid book reader reads books.

Favorite Indulgence:

Peanut Butter. I could literally eat an entire jar in one sitting if I didn’t track my calorie intake so closely.

Favorite Food:

Asian cuisine – any and all of it. It’s all divine.

Pet Peeves:

Unwillingness to learn or change one’s mind. I can show people studies that show a transwomen’s brain has striking similarities to brains of those born female and they will still bury their head deeper in the sand and tell me I am an abomination.

Mantra for Living:

I’m in charge of me. You are in charge of you.

The thing I always tell myself is that the only one who can put a stop to me is me. I’ve received threats, I’ve been called a joke, I’ve been shunned by some, I’ve been told to throw in the towel over and over. At the end of the day, we are each in charge of our own lives, our decisions, our actions, our inaction and the results.
