"I'm not too fond of you putting your whole life into something and you're not happy. I raised you to follow your heart and do what makes you truly happy," My mother, Bernice said fixing me a plate of food.
I sighed heavily mentally rolling my eyes at her motherly antics. It was Sunday and me and my siblings grew up on hot meals every time it rolled around.

I started a YouTube channel as a teen to give fashion advice for those in need and to use it as an escape from everything that I was going through at the time. I loved fashion more than many things, and I truly believe that the passion for it is what got me in the door.
