And if at any point you feel like you don’t have the approval of someone you love: ‘hug yourself tight, breathe, and understand that opinions are just points of view that can be easily changed.”.

“I consider myself a voice, but if I’m not already, I want this to be part of my purpose. We need to naturalize our sexuality more and more, so that in the next generations it will no longer be a taboo. There is nothing wrong or confusing about loving someone, regardless of whether they are a man or a woman. Experiencing love is one of the most genuine things we can do in this life! And if it is up to me, I will plant this seed everywhere I go”, finished.
