What is love to you?

Love for me it’s any kind of emotion. Love it’s when another person gives you the possibility to know themself authentically, sharing their real personality with you and vice versa. 

Do you have a queer role model?

I’m having queer role models in my life all the time, even if they don’t present themselves like queer people. I’m taking pieces from all the artists or just people around me throughout my entire life.

Tell us a secret about you!

My secret is that when I arrived in Berlin all my secrets were gone because I didn’t need to hide them anymore.

Your message to the world?

Love, love yourself, love your parents. Love all the people without waiting for them to love you back. Only love can change this world in a good way, and you can start that change.

When do you feel the most seen?

When I dress and look the way others want me to look. 

What is your form of expression?

I always needed to express myself somehow. So I got many hobbies like making music, drawing, taking photos, and dressing like I really wanted to. All of them helped me -and still do- to feel that I’m part of this world.
