Actress

I'm an actress! I love acting and playing any part you throw at me. But I prefer the dramatic ones.

I was born and raised in Toronto but lucky enough to travel to so many places all over the world before I turned twenty. So I feel like I live everywhere.

How old are you Bella?

Forever 21

When or where do you feel the most centered?

I definitely feel I am my best self, healthiest and happiest in a tropical, warm climate. Living a healthy lifestyle as well as helping others lead one, is a huge part of my wellbeing and truly makes me happy.

Some of the things you have chosen to not associate yourself with?

People with don't have their own opinions and like to constantly judge others. That needs to stop.

If you have had a recent change of perspective on something, what was it and what triggered it?

I have definitely changed my perspective on how I see my food and what I choose to eat. I stumbled upon some documentaries exposing the animal agriculture industry which shocked and made me interested in looking into the health aspects of animal product foods. This quickly (literally overnight) led me to a new and amazing lifestyle change, that i made recently. I now follow a plant-based vegan diet to the best of my ability. I've become more mindful of what I'm putting into my body and also how it has an effect on the world as a whole.

*DISCLAIMER we don't only eat leaves, if we did, we'd be dead. We literally eat everything, we're just more creative about it.

If you could write a single-sentenced plot for a story, what would it be?

Sinqobile that's a hard one!

'Girl has extreme anxiety but slowly acquires the power to read minds and realizes that her worries were extremely common. As everyone is caught up in worrying about themselves than thinking about others.' I'd call it Outta Your Mind.

Your favorite color?

Hahaha, I think it changes with my mood. But in terms of clothes, I'm a great fan of black.

Favorite or ideal role to play?

I would absolutely love to play a role where I am required to dance as well cause I mean, thats double the fun! Or, I would die for a very dramatic role where I have to potray a ton of different emotions authentically.

Three things on your bucket list for twenty eighteen

Graduate!

Go surfing on the big tides and

Be cast in more films!!

For you, what is being neglected?

When people close to you fail to care for you and help you when you're in need. No fun. Don't do it.

Would you choose to be a fly or a lion?

Lion. I can't imagine being so small and hated. (LOL)

When are you not being yourself?

Usually it's when I don't sleep enough and in a constant state of exhaustion, when I can't think properly and make good decisions. Always need my sleep.

What is it about the ocean that you like?

I love the ocean so much, even though I just started I’m in love with surfing and can stay in the water for hours on end trying to catch the perfect wave and just get better each time. It’s so freeing and relaxing I can’t wait to get back in the water.

Add on to these as though they were for a movie script or movie scene

"I'm not living if I'm not loving you"

"I'm joking, I'm really just hungry and tired, give me a bed and food and I promise I'll be nice again"

"Well...she's...she's just not ready for this mad world we live in, but I guess no one really is."

"Life without passion, isn't life."
