My hidden talent/something unique about me:

Bani values self empowerment and having a positive self image. To help assist others in obtaining these qualities, Bani got her fashion design diploma and makeup artist diploma from John Casablanca's institute of art. Bani has had her sewing and pattern drawing diploma from a very young age to assist women in understanding their shape and to value and express it through the clothes that will highlight their beauty. Through her makeup artistry skills, she has been able to empower others, in particular women in their journey of self confidence. Bani would like to consider these skills as two of her talents and hobbies. These skills are unique because they serve her with the satisfaction of knowing that she has helped others improve their self worth and self confidence. She also enjoys dabbling with  various DIY projects.

If I could be anywhere in the world right now:

If Bani could be anywhere in the world right now, she would really like to be in Istanbul, Turkey. Bani thinks Istanbul is a city of love enriched with tradition, culture, cuisine, and monuments that she really would enjoy visiting and learning about.
