heroine.nyc: Hi Aleksandra! Nice to finally meet you! Tell us about yourself—who you are, what you do, what you embody.

Aleks: Nice to meet you, too! As you know, my name is Aleksandra. When I was little, maybe three or four, I gave myself another name, Kaja, which is my name on Instagram. Luckily, nobody calls me Kaja anymore—My nickname now is Aleks.

I'm 27 years old. I was born and raised in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia 🇷🇸. I'm a vegetarian because I love animals. I have a dog and two cats (all adopted). I graduated from economics at Belgrade University, and currently, I'm working on my master's thesis (same field).

I'm studying Japanese because I love Japanese culture and I hope I'll be able to go there soon. I read a lot and watch loads of TV shows, but at night, cuz during the day, I'm pretty active. My every day starts with yoga 🧘‍♀️.

heroine.nyc: What makes you you?

Aleks: I'm like a black sheep in my family. Always going in a different direction from anybody else, and a lot of my family members and friends even told me that. But that's usually what people like about me. I always have my own opinions and my own principles, and I stick to them no matter what.

heroine.nyc: What is your favorite color, and what do you associate with it? What comes to your mind when you think about it?

Aleks: My favorite color has changed with years. When I was little, it was pink. Now it's blue, and I almost always have some little blue details on me. But I think that the color that I associate with the most is black, even though it's not considered a color. Most of the time I wear black clothes. To me, black means power, it's elegant, it goes with everything— you simply can't go wrong with black.

heroine.nyc: Which characteristics do you associate with a heroine?

Aleks: Since I was a kid, I've liked helping others. No matter the problem, if it's in my power, I was there to help.

I'm usually the person who gives voice to the ones who can't speak for themselves. People, animals—everyone who needs it. Helping others is what I associate with a heroine the most.

heroine.nyc: What is your favorite shade from our range? And why does this color suit your personality so well?

Aleks: My favorite heroine.nyc shade is Watch Me Sparkle ✨️ because I have a sparkling personality. I'm attracting people's attention unintentionally. Sometimes it's something I wear, and sometimes, I do something clumsy 😅 but I rarely just pass unnoticed.

heroine.nyc: How do you express your personality creatively?

Aleks: Most often, I express myself through nail art, my clothes and jewelry. You can almost every time see my mood based on my outfit and nails. I express myself through art generally. I always add something unique to everything I own so it can be different from others, special just mine.
