#oletapark

I embarked on a journey of self-transformation—embracing vegetarianism, yoga, and daily workouts—trying to align myself with my true passions, setting the foundation for where I am now. With the hope of one da living on the beach, which I eventually did.

After a couple of months there, I decided to do a photoshoot in nature, a symbolic baptism in the water to honor my roots and journey. Oleta Park quickly became my sanctuary, and later, I even found myself working with a conservation organization to protect parks like these.

Miami embraced me with open arms, and I'm forever grateful for the experiences I had there. Looking back at these photos, I see a fearless, badass version of myself. Despite the struggles, I never gave up.

However, I now understand that my move from Mississippi to Miami was also a way of running from my issues. It took time and growth to realize that I needed to face them head-on. Wherever you go, your problems will follow if they're coming from within.
