76 || FASHION MAGAZINE || NOVEMBER 2014FMM: Secret yearnings/weaknesses?AL: My secret weaknesses are shopping and food! What woman doesn%u2019t have that disease? But seriously, my biggest weakness is sometimes I feel like I am not doing enough to reach my dreams and make my grandmother proud. Sometimes, I get angry or disrespectful messages from fans and that really breaks my heart. I ask myself, %u201cWhat did I do wrong?%u201d But then I remember my grandmother saying to never let anyone%u2019s disapproval or underestimation stop you from fully reaching your potential. So after one day, my mind and soul are fully recharged, and I am ready to make a difference again! FMM: What does the future hold for you?AL: I am in the process of recording my first music album, so stay tuned! Singing has always been my passion, not only because I want to fulfill my grandmother%u2019s dreams, but it also enables me to express my story, feelings, and identity in a true and meaningful way to others. I also love to act, and I always dreamed of playing a superhero character. I think women with weapons and trying to save the world are hot! In the future I hope to create a talent agency, which will sign talents based on their passion and true talent rather than their status or physical characteristics. Lastly, I really hope that I can be a positive role model for others. I hope that my anti-bullying campaign will flourish further and will eventually create a mandatory universal anti-bullying law. I have the vision of creating leaders who will stand up for others and be the voice for the voiceless internationally. I am also currently a sponsor for Child Fund International, and I aspire to establish my own nonprofit organization dedicated to providing nutrition, education, and shelter for the less fortunate. I know it is a lot, but why not aim high? Anything is possible!
