On your Instagram, you’re always rocking so many different looks in terms of hair, makeup, and styling. Can you tell us a little bit about your relationship with makeup? What are your go-to products?

Oh my God, yes! I just started getting into makeup maybe two years ago. At first I was not that good at all, but of course practice, practice, practice. I'm so inspired by YouTube. I love all the YouTubers. I love watching all the makeup artists, and Ii've learned to accumulate my own skills.

Of course I love Fenty Beauty; let's not play around, that's the best. I'm very passionate about it now, and Fenty Beauty lip balm would have to be my go-to. I can't leave the house without it.

What scares you the most?

Heights! I'm scared of heights.

How can everybody do their part in helping the trans community?

I think it's so important to make sure if you’re in the community or an ally to the community, make sure you’re actually supporting someone. There's so many trans women I know as friends as well who are probably too strong to tell anyone, “Hey, I'm actually going through a tough time.” This can also be just having a strong friend in general. You should always see if they're okay and offer as much help as you can even if they say no, because you never know what anyone is going through.

It's just so much harder for trans women of color in general to live in this world where these women are constantly dying every single day. It's terrible and you always have to keep an eye on them and seriously protect them.

Any parting words for any younger people who are embarking on a similar journey/struggle to understand their identity and where they fit in their lives or in specific industries?

As far as just finding yourself, it's not a rush. It's not a game, there's no one that has to be first or anything. Just be you and test different things if you like. Put some makeup on to see if you like it. Just experiment.

For me it took such a long time. I’m now, oh my God, I don't like saying my age... But now I'm 23. And I finally feel like who I’m supposed to be. It took so long for me to come to terms with this. It's just to say, there's no rush to it all.

In one word, what does the future look like?

Phluid.
