You're sort of forced to include this aspect of culture into your life whether it be for social reasons or business purposes.

When the passion isn't there, the drive isn't there and it just doesn't last for me.

Most people have no idea what Cabo Verde is or even where it is to mention, so I definitely want to make people aware of this beautiful culture.

I always say that you are who you are and you can't hide it.

Super-stardom doesn't scare or excite me. It's just another ingredient added to my world.

I think the world should be represented on television and for the longest its been limited. Ethnic stories specifically need variety in content period.

Even if it's something so simple as filling myself up with uplifting meditation so it's easier to spread kindness and love by the time I walk out my door and enter the world. I get a kick out of making a strangers day.
