1.If you could make one rule that everyone in the world had to follow, what would it be?
The funniest thing I remember as a child was when I tried to cook a "gourmet" meal for my family. I ended up mixing all the spices in the kitchen and made something that looked and smelled like a science experiment gone wrong. My family still teases me about it to this day, but it always brings a good laugh!
2.If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
I wish I owned a beautiful, flowing evening gown designed by Bahamian designer Theodore Elyett. His designs are stunning and perfectly capture the elegance and vibrant culture of the Bahamas. Wearing one of his gowns would make me feel like a true island queen.
3.When do you feel a child or teen becomes an adult?
My favorite season is summer. In the Bahamas, summer means endless sunshine, beach days, and cultural festivals. It's a time when the islands are alive with music, dance, and the warmth of our people, making every day feel like a celebration.
4.What do you feel you have learned in life that will be the most useful?
My favorite movie is *Black Panther. It showcases strong, powerful women and celebrates African culture in such a beautiful and inspiring way. Plus, it reminds me of the importance of embracing our heritage and being proud of where we come from.
5.What do you feel is the hardest job in the world and why?
The song that makes me think of myself is "Bush Medicine" by Bahamian singer Rik Carey. It's a vibrant, upbeat song that celebrates the unique culture and resilience of the Bahamian people. It always lifts my spirits and reminds me to stay true to my roots and embrace my heritage.
