The Canadian also shared that before attending Vogue World, she was in a "crappy" place and had faced numerous challenges. However, she credited her faith in God and belief in herself for helping her overcome those obstacles

"A few weeks ago I was in a really crappy place. A roller coaster of emotions. Life will throw so many things at you, often all at once. But if I have Learned anything from this past month, it is that God will never give you more than you can handle. Stay the course, be kind, and keep believing in yourself. Believe that you are strong enough, believe that you are good enough, and believe that at the end of the day, you are one of one," she wrote.
