Hi, I’m Amanda — and this is Part 2.
Born in Guelph, raised in The Netherlands, and shaped by a system that failed me — I’ve spent my life fighting to find light in the darkness.
I’m a mom of two beautiful girls, a child & youth worker, a creative soul, and someone who’s always had a vision… even when the world told me not to dream.
Growing up in care, I saw how systems break. But I also saw how powerful healing can be — through art, style, and self-expression. Fashion was always my fantasy, but the voices said:
“You won’t make a future out of that.”
At 18, I chose to prove them wrong — and I did. But even as I poured into others, the Art of Life kept calling me back.
In 2021, I picked up a camera and began capturing my vision. Life (and outside noise) dimmed the spark… until I chose to take it back.
🎵 Now? I create from the music. From the soul. From the fire that never died.
📸 Part 2 is where the art meets life. It’s where my work comes alive through sound, emotion, and vision.
This is not about following trends — it’s about following truth.
So hi again —
I’m Amanda.
