In 2020, I Chose Myself – Now I’m Going for Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe 2025

In 2020, I Chose Myself – Now I’m Going for Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe 2025

In 2020, it was just me and a dream.
No applause, no guiding hand
Only silence.

In 2020 is when I decided to do the drawings that I wanted.
It has been very tough making my art personal brand.
I began this journey on my own.

-My family wasn’t with me.
-My best friends wasn’t with me.
-I had no accountability partner at that time.
-I had no experience in being an entrepreneur.
-I did this all on my own and I learned on the go.

It had to be done.

I did this because:
-I want more control of my work.
-I am fed up with waiting.
-I have a lot to prove.
-I am sick and tired of being told that I won’t manage and expect me to be ok with it.
-I was fed up being laughed at by other people.
-I want to be happy and achieve the dreams that I wanted.

I was used to listening to other people’s advice.
But since I wasn’t getting anywhere, I had to start trusting my instincts.

Even though, yes I am having a lot of control of the things that I am doing.
But at the same time, I knew I had to do it without letting my parents and my best friends know.
2019 is where I was at one of my very lowest. I didn’t enjoy much of it.

If I didn’t make the change, I was never going to get to the dream goals that I want to achieve and watch it disappear.
Something had to change. I needed to take action.

I didn’t understand much from there so I had to learn on the go.
Because of my learning disabilities, It took longer for me to learn new skills.
But that didn’t stop me.

I am glad that I made that change. My regret was not taking that risk much sooner.

It was very tough for me because I have to admit, my parents and I haven’t been on the best terms.
I still care about them very much and will always do anything for them.
But something had to change because I was going around in circles.

I will continue to do what I had to prove the naysayers wrong.
I won’t stop until I prove what I set out to do.
I am getting my story out there. My story deserves to be seen.

In 2019 and before, I followed other people's instinct.
Since 2020, I have followed my instinct.
Old version of me no longer existed.
New version of me, I chase my dreams and inspire people worldwide.

I encourage you all to do the same.
Stop waiting, Just start.

In my words from my tagline: Be Bold. Be Fearless. Be You.
Because after all and also in my words: Your Vision. Your Story. Your Legacy.

P.S: I would love you guys to come up the journey with me for Forbes 30 Under 30, to be in that publication.

It has been one of my biggest dreams for a very very long time.
It means a lot to me and I really want this.

I want to show everybody what I can do and I have so much potential and have a lot to offer.
