“My mom was a fan, so I heard a lot of Prince’s music growing up. When I was eleven or twelve, Musicology came out. Every time the video came on, I would be glued to the TV. It wasn’t until a couple years later that my mom told me he was from here, and I was like, ‘No way.’

“Do you have a favorite Prince memory?”

“The Super Bowl. I remember watching that and being transfixed by every little move. I’d never seen anyone perform like that before. Unfortunately, I never got to see him live in person, so it’s the closest I ever came. My mom and I were screaming and cheering as if we were there.”

“What does Prince represent to you?”

“Individuality. Being who you are regardless of what people think or say. He was a symbol of gender fluidity. You can do what you want, you can say what you want. You can still be somebody being an individual. And that means a lot to me.”
