“I was crying while getting my makeup done.

It was a whole just kind of a mess. But once we started, Sabrina and Tamara are just amazing at making me feel comfortable and welcomed and beautiful.”

And if you haven't done it and want to do it, I would say, dive in, get it, man.”

“Your biggest critic is going to be you. So you have to build yourself up.

Doing this photo shoot was one of the biggest things that I could have done to better myself and better everybody around me”
