So before, it was just swim wears,” she said.

Once you make up your mind, everyone will tag along. The dream may be too big for your mum or your dad to see but it won’t be too big for you to see. I will tell the people who want to do this that they need to be consistent and be different. Dream that dream, its valid.”
