My name is Sweania Delisa. I’m 21 years old. I’m a professional athlete and I’m also currently a singer, a dancer, and a model. I grew up in this beautiful island of Bali. Basically I’m Balinese, but I have all of these mixtures in a family from a different area.

My dad is a very loving and forgiving person. But he doesn’t make that much income in life because he’s on the administration. So, I always have this desire inside me that I always wanted to change that life. I also want to change other’s perspective towards me or my family.

Dancing, singing and sports are the things that I do to channel my pain away into something beautiful and positive. Those activities give me so much motivation to be a better person mentally and physically. Those are the media I use to express my sadness. They taught me a lot of things such as how to love and believe in myself.

I’m born and raised in Africa. I studied product design but I have a big interest in photography and videography. I moved to London five years ago to follow job opportunities. I shot for magazine and a lot of other things, making up my job as a photographer and I became really passionate towards it.
.
To me photography is like helping people in someway. I believe that people are pretty as they are. I want to show the people we don’t need fake or artificial stuff to make us proud of our body or ourselves. I want to give them the confident they deserve because they already pretty as they are.
.
Recently I would say my style is moving towards more real life photography. Even if I shoot swimwear I want my picture to look more real. When the model were posing too much I often would say ‘no don’t pose’. I just want when people see my picture they feel like it’s a normal life. That’s why I’m moving to analog picture more and more.

I think there is something wrong with the system. I think it is somehow modern slavery when someone tells you that you have to work until you’re 65 and then after that you’re free to do what you want to do. I don’t know when and I don’t know how exactly but I woke up and thought as long as I am working for someone I will never be able to reach my dreams and pursue self-realization that is the most important thing.
.
So I started my own Instagram account two and half yeas ago to do some vlogging. You could say I am a vlogger. I also do collaborations with brand to make good contents and do some modelling as well. I could say Bali is very unique place. You see a lot of possibilities here in Bali which is mind-blowing. It actually assists me to evolve to be better. First of all you have a little bit more time you you could start look into yourself more. Secondly, if you tell the universe what you want, it will put people to your path helping you to get it.

I’d say I have had a few careers in my life. I started out as a visual artist because I was born into a family of sculptors. I started out in Visual Arts from a very young age. I was a child artist. I was showing my artwork and selling it from the age of four. Then when I was eleven I fell in love with music and I had a new dream to become a singer. I was told that in order to become a successful singer, I would have to write my own songs. So now I also am a singer and songwriter. I am also now working on a project I’m extremely passionate about. It’s sort of a community hub for people to come and read positive content and get inspired called, The Fearless Nomad.

I see many people around me not doing what they love. The only reason for that being is that they have these false belief systems in place and these limitations. Beliefs about yourself not being enough and not being talented enough. I want to create something that can shed a little light in the world about that.
