what are you really good at?

i'm a professional dancer and i have a diploma in ballet and contemporary dance. i also do genderqueer drag

what do you do besides modelling?

i'm an activist currently focusing on the issues facing the queer community in poland. i aspire to be a queer academic. i have a MA in china studies, and I'm currently working on my thesis in media studies. i also work as a creative manager

who are your lgbtqia+ role models?

queer people who are unapologetically themselves, especially in industries where it’s difficult to be (e.g. academia). older queer people who are not afraid to live the life they want to live. i want to be a role model for younger generations of queer children – the role model i didn’t have as a child

what makes you get out of bed in the morning?

knowing that i contribute to making the world a better place. my family and closest friends. Being aware that there are so many things out there waiting for me to discover them

anything else you want people to know?

i’m not striving for perfection any more. i’m striving for progress. i will never stop learning new things
