One of the most defining moments in my life was when I enter my first pinup contest. Although I placed 2nd…I heard many negative things said to me as I walked around the venue. It made me upset but also lit a fire in my soul. I looked around and noticed not a very big presence of women of color and decided that if I were to continue I would be the subject of many negative comments but I could also help pave the way for more women of color….hopefully to inspire more.
