Learn MoreI chose the tiger because it symbolizes strength, independence, and resilience. Like the tiger, I’ve learned to walk my own path with courage and grace. Life has taught me how to trust my instincts, rise with confidence, and embody quiet power. This tattoo is a reminder that I am both fierce and calm — a leader of my own evolution.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If my ink could speak, it would tell the story of a woman who turned pain into power, silence into wisdom, and growth into art. Every line, every symbol, is a reminder of where I’ve been and who I chose to become. My ink isn’t decoration — it’s declaration. A reflection of resilience, grace, freedom, and transformation. Proof that healing can be beautiful.
What would you do with the $25,000?With $25,000, I’d invest in building a brand that heals. I’d create digital journals, courses, and wellness tools to help others transform pain into power — just as I did. I’d expand my Empress of Wisdom platform to reach more people, launch healing retreats, and bring soul-led education into spaces that need it. This wouldn’t just be for me — it would be for the collective. Healing is contagious. I just want to be the spark.
