Hope is the last thing you lose, they say. When we depend on a miracle or expect something implausible to happen, we shake with fear and make bold promises to the gods if they have mercy on us. We pray for a second chance. Most of the time, we do it for banal things, like sports or passing on a test. But there are other times when much more is at stake, like walking again, for example, or getting our health back. And those calls are rarely attended; that is why they are more associated with miracles. 

After imploring, begging, and promising the earth and the moon, how many of us would keep their word and make every second of their existence worthy if they got a second chance. Jordan Sky is one of them, and she excelled at keeping her word. 

Joining me today is Jordan Sky; she is a model and influencer. Jordan is a member of Somnium Lifestyle and was recently crowned as Miss Valenti 2021. Jordan's parents exposed her to art and different cultures at a young age, traveling quite often and living abroad, which made her curious and fascinated about the Renaissance, Romanticism, poets, sculptors, and paints. She had an accident that kept her paralyzed for several days, which changed her perspective on life. After getting her second chance, she embraced life, and that feeling of gratitude has been her fuel since then.

In this episode, we talked about Jordan's journey into the modeling world. She kindly shared her experience as a gamer and influencer, and how after cosplaying Kitana and Lara Croft at Comic-Con, her following exploded. We talked about her preference for villains over superheroes and how that preference matches the image she wants to portray in her content. We also talked about overcoming adversity and the lessons she learned from her life-changing experience.
