Project Glimmer: When do you feel the most Confident?
Grace: In my room! I consider that my safe haven. I like to draw and do a lot of art and journal there. My room is just a place where I’ve learned so much about myself and self reflected on a lot of things. Also, when I’m able to take on a leadership role at my job. I enjoy showing that I can be a leader and it definitely boosts my confidence.
Project Glimmer: How has Project Glimmer made an impact on your life?
Grace: One of my passions is makeup, so the confidence from receiving certain makeup products was very impactful. Also, just looking at Project Glimmer and hearing about it throughout the years. This organization just seems so good at empowering the youth. It made me feel like there is still love within this world and people still want to help each other out, especially young women.
Project Glimmer: What is your favorite activity to do outside of school?
Grace: Definitely art! I like to draw a lot and explore different mediums. I’m also just a laid back person and I like to go on Youtube and Netflix and enjoy time to myself. Also, I love spending time with animals. I have two cats myself!
Project Glimmer: What type of things would you like to learn more about?
Grace: What I envision for myself in the future is to be an aesthetic nurse. A nurse that does cosmetics in any way. I definitely want to learn more about that! Ever since I learned I can be in the medical field, but still be cosmetic related - I was like that sounds like the perfect field for me! Definitely want to learn more about that type of field.
Project Glimmer: What is your favorite movie? Why?
Grace: I have two favorite movies! Coraline and Corpse Bride. Coraline, I’ve also read the book and the book is so good. The directors themselves have said everything in the movie has some type of meaning. Rewatching it you can always find new things, I just love that about it. Also, Corpse Bride - I love a Tim Burton type of film and something about it is just so good! I watch it basically every week!
Project Glimmer: Who is your favorite person in the world?
Grace: My sisters, my brother and my older sister’s husband! We talk to each other about everything. Seeing them prosper has been amazing. Seeing my family grow has always been a beautiful sight to me. Those are my favorite people!
Project Glimmer: What type of things make you feel the most alive/passionate about?
Grace: Honestly, just living life! I like to see people act human and live their life and be happy. Even something as simple as going out to eat, watching a movie or art - I feel empowerment from it, because I’m taking care of myself.
Project Glimmer: If you had wings what color would they be?
Grace: Pink! Absolutely Pink. Definitely a baby pink, iridescent type of feel. I love the color pink!
Project Glimmer: What’s your superpower?
Grace: Being comfortable with silence! And from what I’ve heard, the good energy that I give off makes people comfortable and open to getting to know me.
