Thank you for having me. My story is how I came to learn the importance of pursuing the truth. Ever since being in a fire when I was a child that left me facially-scarred, I had believed a lot of thing about myself that weren’t true. These things stopped me from being who I really was. They made me insecure, fearful, and caused me to suffer from low self-esteem. Even though I have found much joy in my sculpting which I love to do, my fears and insecurities prevented me from sharing my work with a large audience. I’m happy to say that I have since discovered the true source of self-esteem.Q - What makes you laugh out loud?
Ria: A good joke or a sarcastic comment from my friend, Danika.

Ria: Ingredients for my daily green power juice, salad, and fish.
