"I was initially a little apprehensive," Fuerzina said of the world record. "But I wanted to try to showcase the strength of women, and what's possible, by applying for the record myself."

"Initially, beginning my journey wasn't something I ever thought possible and, in the course of being myself, it became a reality... though holding the record is still sinking in," she said.

"My aim for many years has been moving towards cohesiveness, so ultimately, I love the flow being generated as a whole."

"I think it's obvious I'm not trying to adhere to traditional beauty standards," Esperance Fuerzina said. "Kindness is very important to me... I try to live that in my life."
