What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?
My most memorable Halloween was October 31, 2003. Halloween allows you to open up boundaries and explore creativity, making it a day where you can become anything you imagine. On that particular day, I began a new chapter in my life by transitioning from male to female, a decision that has shaped my identity ever since. This means my new birthday is actually Halloween. I celebrated this significant transition with the LGBT community during a ball I organized, it’s now forever in my memory.
Tell us why you would make it to the end of a horror movie.
I would make it to the end of a horror movie because I embody the allure, charisma, and complexity of villains. When I see most villains, I see myself—not for their heinous acts, but as misunderstood outcasts redirecting their feelings into sinister plans. This connection allows me to think and strategize like the villain causing all the chaos. Understanding their mindset and tactics is crucial for surviving any horror scenario, and it’s this insight that would help me endure until the very end.
What would you do with the unlucky $13,000?
With The “unlucky” prize money, I would invest in my logistics business “Madusa’s logistics”just started. I have a 10-year-old son, the heroic figure of my life story, who means the world to me. My goal is to leave him generational wealth and everything he needs for a successful future. Investing in my business will allow me to acquire vehicles, increase profits, and establish a stable enterprise to pass on to him. This way, he can generate income for his life and provide for his future family.
Who is your real-life hero who you would want to survive a horror movie with?
My real-life superhero is my 10-year-old son. Everything I do, have done since the day he was born, and will do in the future is for him. I was going through a deep depression, overwhelmed by darkness, ready to end it all. Learning that he was coming into this world, and after hearing his heart beat gave me reason to live. He saved my life, just as superheroes do, and for that, I owe him mine. I dedicate all that I do to him, ensuring his life is the best it can be. Hes the best kid in the world
