“The greatest gift that could have ever been given to me was exposure. To expose me to so many different people, places and things. So when people want you to define yourself whether you’re as you say; straight, gay, bi or whatever. Love is like much more complex than that and much more in-depth. For me, I’m the kind of person, because love is a language, I’m fluent in love when it speaks to me.”

August went on to say; “Me having to choose self, looking at my reflection. here it is presented in front of you, are you willing to choose yourself? Do you have enough self love and respect to choose you above all else?”
