We’re all that we had – each other. We had no choice but to be close and stick together. I feel like I’m loving, caring, and I’m very empathetic because that’s something that I saw in my family and my community and my household, knowing that no matter what, these people will always have your back.
Bior also shares his aspirations to pursue a career in modelling, with his sister’s unwavering support. She gives me inspiration to do better. Modeling is definitely an option and I enjoy it…but I also play soccer, so I want to pursue that.
