""My transition is just such a small part of who I am as a person," she told HypeBae in 2023. "My goal was always to spread positivity and inspire people to be confident. Before sharing about that moment, I went back and forth for months trying to decide if it was something I felt comfortable documenting online. I obviously decided to film a TikTok about it and I'm so happy I did.""
