Paris' Project K Story π
When Paris was in high school she admits she wasnβt the best student or daughter to her teachers or family. She was selected alongside 11 other students to participate in our Project K programme.
"I got a bit nervous because this wasnβt my crowd but I ended up becoming really good friends with them and ended up becoming an unspoken leader, like a leader but without being told that I was the leader...
βIβd never been put in a leadership position before so for that to happen to me I thought it was kind of breath-taking to be honest.β
