ODYSSEY

After the 2016 Presidential Election, I attended a few Anti-Trump Rallies to support the cause, as well as to gain further insight into other's reasons for their support. I made a video of one of the rallies I attended, and a few days later one of the editors from Odyssey reached out to me via social media asking me to join their community. Making videos has always been a hobby of mine, but I was eager to start taking my creations more seriously. I am now a creator at Odyssey and am excited to see where this path will lead me.

TRAVEL

In tangent to being a creator at Odyssey, I also work as a flight attendant for a United States airline. Being able to travel so much has allowed me to observe geographically unique trends culturally, meteorically, and much more. Utilizing Odyssey as well as my airline, I seek to isolate those trends to share them with my viewers.

LGBTQ+

The LGBTQ+ community has always been intensely scrutinized. Being that I represent not only the T (transgender) but also the L (lesbian) in the acronym, society's unacceptance of the community has had a great impact on my life. Utilizing videos, articles, and other mediums I will strive to undermine the countless prejudices surrounding the community.

POLITICS

The United States of America has always had a large impact on the world since its succession from Great Britain in 1776. Since the election of Donald Trump in 2016, I have become increasingly more invested in the state of the nation, its affairs, and its citizens. With the political transition, a vast majority of American's are being subjugated to the jeopardization of many of their civil liberties. Realistically speaking it can be difficult to find media sources that will provide viewers with factual information, therefore I will continuously try to incorporate factual information from reputable sources in my content.

MUSIC

Music has been important to me ever since my mother started teaching me how to play the flute at three years old. When I was able to, I took up vocal performance, and have sung in various ensembles and groups til this day. In my mid-teens, I began teaching myself how to play piano and acoustic guitar. Later on, I started arranging some original pieces and performing them locally. Finally after becoming a flight attendant I took up violin because of its portable size. Music continues to be important to me.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
