Facing Reality Bonus Ep Ink Master Hometown Heroes contestant Kyra Torres Represents Vancouver

"I think its probably one of the coolest things i've done in my career"

Bonus Episode! Ink Master: Hometown Heroes contestant Kyra Torres joins Facing Reality to talk reality tv, jumping into the deep end and what it means to represent Vancouver on national TV.

From what its like WINNING a challenge in style you are not used to the surreal nature of being cast on a legendary show, Kyra chatted with me about it all! I absolutely loved this conversation.

Another theme that keeps coming through strong here on Facing Reality - challenging yourself and going outside of your comfort zone is a really great feeling that reality tv is going to give you no matter what your journey looks like! It is BIZARRE and STRANGE and yet reality tv performers just get to it and get through it !

It is why i love the genre and why I think the performers on it deserve more credit. That is the whole point of this series and I cannot thank Kyra enough for taking the time to chat with me!

This is NOT an exit interview so can catch Kyra and Luke representing their Canadian hometowns on Ink Master every week.

Im officially obsessed with Ink Master btw! I am all caught up on season 17 and almost done season 14. I absolutely love the creativity and the insight into what inspires artists. Plus, the competitions are so fun and unique! Also the artists are SO COOL.
