Mom Quote by Alex Consani
“I really wanted to model when I was younger because there were no dolls doing it. I talked to my mom about it, and we did all this research and I ended up signing to an agency in L.A. that was trans only. That's where I met Dominique Jackson, she was my role model growing up.”
