Enter For FreeMy latest tattoo is a flower vine done by my friend Chris, just a month into learning to tattoo. I trusted his steady hand and had him create a piece that symbolizes both loss and growth. Each flower represents a part of my journey—miscarriages, the birth of my two beautiful children, and everything in between. The sunflower, my favorite, stands for resilience and hope. It’s a deeply personal reminder of how beauty can bloom from pain.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If my ink could speak, it would say: “Watch me bloom from every break.” These lines trace my transformation—pain into power, loss into life. Each piece marks a turning point, a rebirth. I didn’t just survive - I Became.
What would you do with the $25,000?Winning $25K would help me build a better future—for my kids and myself. I’d save $10K for their college dreams, invest $10K in my law degree to become a CA attorney, and use the rest to finally get a safe, reliable car. It’s more than money—it’s a chance to rise, provide, and lead by example.
