how to deal with people from different backgrounds, with different personalities, and if different origins. That’s beautiful to me.
UG Digital Mag: What are you most proud of about your path, or
where you are now, versus where you started?
Cyrene Tankard: My confidence has grown tremendously. My
mentality has grown and matured like I never would have expected, especially at this age. Between having more confidence, and
the experiences I’ve had, and landing my job at the production
company that produces our show, that has been a dope experience. Learning how to connect with people and network, I’m
proud of myself for that. I can be closed off at times. Opening up
has been big for me. That’s not a tangible trophy, but it has gotten me a lot further in life.
UG Digital Mag: In reality that is huge. I was the same way, and at
times can still be that way, so I can relate. Even as much as I run
my mouth now, there’s still times where I don’t want to be bothered with certain things. So I get it.
Cyrene Tankard: Having other people see my progression, I love
it. That, to me, is so big, and it makes me happy.
UG Digital Mag: As I said, I see the growth, and there’s so many
who are proud of your direction. There’s so much you’ve been
able to do, and people you’ve been able to help. What final comments do you have?
Cyrene Tankard: I just want to encourage everyone to keep
pushing. These are trying times, and with so many things going
on, I just want to encourage everyone. Maximize on the good
things happening. Instead of asking people what’s wrong, as
what’s right. It’s so easy to get down and stay down, so let’s
change the motion. Let’s change society, and it starts with just
one of us talking about it. Word of mouth is powerful, and I believe in the power of the mouth. I say what’s right today. Life can
be great. Customize your experience. +
