Emilia:
Before going on stage, to give me security and confidence, I tell myself, “I’m Rihanna, I’m Rihanna.” And I don’t know who told me, someone from my team, said now you need to say, “I’m Emilia, I’m Emilia, believe it.”
Jessica Roiz:
Emilia, I loved when you were doing the photo shoot. You came out empowered, confident, really secure. Have you always been like that? Or did it take you a while to get to that person?
Emilia:
I feel like I’ve always been hard-headed, always bossy, but I think security was being worked on over time.
Jessica Roiz:
I also loved when you were being styled and when we were at the photo shoot that you had a playlist with a lot of female rappers, you also had a lot of Y2K, Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Shakira. Talk to me about that playlist and why you like to listen to it?
Emilia:
Well, it’s music that I grew up with, a lot of them, because they inspire me, and when I listen to their music I get in a good mood, it boosts my self-esteem, it makes me happy, it makes my whole team dance, I dance. It creates a beautiful energy in the place and love comes out.
