Today we’d like to introduce you to Alexa Gandy
Hi Alexa, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
In Denver Colorado of 2019 My family was Separated when I was 16, I was forced to drop out of school and live with friends. I had to recover from a drug addiction that was induced by my dad, then chose to re-attend high school in 2021 where I worked 40 hours a week and attended school everyday. I graduated in 2022, and was able to save enough to get a 3 bedroom apartment for my younger sister so she would also have the opportunity to finish high school, after she graduated I decided to move back to Dallas to give myself bigger opportunities to be creative in a city I am familiar with and where my family is. Dallas is my home. I now live here with my Fiance, in Deep Ellum and Work for Urban Outfitters doing Display and Merchandising
Disclaimer: This is a general summary of How I got to Dallas
