She also noted that the major milestone of becoming a teenager coincided with the start of Pride Month, writing, "Stronger Together ✊🏾 #happypride🌈".

"It feels great. I feel like there was always something that I was meant to do, but I was never able to find it. So I always tried to do all of this stuff, and I eventually just stopped looking for it, and I think I found it," she said.

"I just feel that all people should be able to experience life to the fullest, and I think that really includes knowing who you are truly, and being able to show other people who you are. And that's just what it's all about," she declared.

Happy birthday and happy Pride Month, Zaya 💜💚!
