I'll never forget the summer I spent at the beach as a teenager. My long hair was always messy and straight, and I loved showing off my abs on the sand. As I grew older, I became more confident in my body - especially when I wore a bikini. I had to deal with some criticism from people who didn't understand me, but I never let it get to me.

People often tell me that I'm sexy just because of my body type. But honestly, I think confidence is way sexier than physical appearance. I've been called petite and skinny before, which can be a bit frustrating at times, but I try not to focus too much on those things. What matters most to me are the qualities within - like my tribe tattoos on my arms.

As someone who's French-Irish mixed, I grew up with two different sides of my family influencing my personality and upbringing. But it was during a beach vacation that I discovered I had a real love for dancing - not just because I'm flexible or have perfect abs, but because it allows me to express myself freely. Now, whenever I get the chance to dance, I take full advantage of it!
