Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My latest tattoo features a set of wings alongside my mother’s birth date. I chose this to honor her life, celebrating not the day she left us, but the incredible journey she lived. She was a radiant soul whose love for her children and others was boundless. I want the world to remember her not for her passing, but for the joy and inspiration she brought to everyone around her. Each line of ink is a tribute to her legacy, a reminder to cherish life and the beauty within it.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

If my ink could speak, it would share tales of struggle and resilience. It would weave a narrative of searching for identity, where every piece of art represents a chapter—filled with rebellion, faith, loss, and acceptance. Each tattoo is a stepping stone in my journey, reminding me that clarity often emerges from chaos and that every mark carries the essence of my evolving story.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With the $25,000, I would invest in my future and my community. Part of the funds would go toward a down payment on a home, but my passion lies in helping others. I envision launching a nonprofit dedicated to empowering people in my area. I’d create a welcoming space for peer support, where they can discover resources they may not know exist. Through one-on-one counseling and support groups, I aim to foster connections and inspire confidence, helping them navigate their own journeys.
