Hey found you from TikTok. This vlog was so cute! I really hope you post more. It’s super inspiring to see a young black girl going after her dreams just like me and your personality seems amazing! I kinda used to be turned off by doing background work but this video make me view it in a more postive light! Thanks for posting and I wish you the best of luck on your journey ❤

[@HeyDreya]

Mannnn😭😭😭😭🤍 this is exactly why I share my content. In general, there aren’t many young black girls in the industry and our population is even smaller on social media. AND THAT is very discouraging. Not seeing people my color and size in a space is so daunting - even doing bg and being the only one is scary but I want to document it to show that we can do anything fr 😭 I’m glad you received the video well. Please never stop pursuing your dreams. and I have a new on set vlog coming Friday (hopefully 🫣) so stay tuned 🤍
