When I was 14 years old, my family and I moved to start a healing and mindfulness retreat center called Rainbow Ridge. That is where I got introduced to meditation & spirituality. Living there got me pondering the concepts of healing my traumas and uncovering why I was depressed. pic.twitter.com/4sr12jiSBq

After my healing journey, I wanted to help others by sharing tips that helped me unlock my highest happiness! So, I wrote How To Be Happy! I spent the last year working on this book|journal and affirmation cards. This past November, my book launched at Meet Delic! pic.twitter.com/hjCt7ohgWa

Living at Rainbow Ridge taught me how to connect with nature! I learned so many lessons just from sitting, listening, and meditating with the trees. I talk a-lot about the healing power of nature in my book How To Be Happy!#YAauthortakeover pic.twitter.com/dD45q2ecMo

By staying open and connecting with the higher source, I’ve learned that dance is one of my callings on earth! Movement has been a huge part of my life since I was 9. I was a competitive dancer for years, and now I am a choreographer and I love to create dance videos!

Jupiter.
This was my first dance visual I got to choreograph, direct, and dance in! Jupiter is by Tree Hill, she has been a huge impact on my life, and is truly amazing. I am so grateful I got to add a visual component through movement to her song! @nilerodgers @BeebsMoney pic.twitter.com/RM24BfNZQN— Young Entertainment Magazine (@YoungEntmag) February 10, 2022

In my book How To Be Happy, I wrote a lot about the power of breath. At Rainbow Ridge we would practice Wim Hof breathing and then go into an ice bath. It was pretty hard for me at first, but after tapping into the breath, anything is possible. pic.twitter.com/Pm7Br9Huww

Journaling is a part of my daily practices! I love to clear my mind and release all my feelings into my journal. In my book How To Be Happy, there is reflection questions and lots of room to journal and answer quantum questions to understand yourself clearly. pic.twitter.com/fJo9w3aie9

A few years back, I fell in love with tarot cards. I wanted a deck of cards to come with the book as an everyday integration while reading How To Be Happy! https://t.co/Cquyoph9br to get yours! pic.twitter.com/r4T1KVOZAi

I shaved my head for the #first time 6 months ago. Since then, I have found myself learning patience. I had to let go of my external identity and be okay in my own skin! I’ve always been one to express through outward appearance, so it’s definitely been a shift. pic.twitter.com/KZsIscuqWD

Since writing my book https://t.co/Cquyoph9br at 15 years old, I’ve been blessed to share my story in different articles regarding my experience living at a healing retreat center so young. pic.twitter.com/As1wiyeOor
