Alexis Ren

I'm from Santa Monica, which was an awesome place to grow up. You're very spoiled being from California. When it's below 70, you complain. When it rains, you talk about it.

I think being vulnerable to other humans is a form of strength.

I'm proud of how strong and capable my body is.

The idea of being a designer is always something that has intrigued me.

I like challenges, and I hate being categorized. It's always been a thing of mine.

I overworked myself to a point of malnourishment.

I hate being categorized.

Chemically, if you are not happy, your body will not look or be happy.

Looking up to girls for inspo is a beautiful thing, but comparing yourself is what creates the anxiety and self-hatred. It's really important that young girls know the difference.

I appreciate Love Advent because they like to experiment with creatively different concepts that are unforgettable and fun to shoot!

People tend to judge a book by its cover. I love being unexpected and gaining respect for who I am and not how I look.

I consider myself a nerd. I love science and technology.
