I've always been an actress, entertaining my family was the start. I'm a goof ball among many of my cousins and siblings.

I was drawn into acting due to the fact that I could express myself better. I could use my voice - my entire body - not just my looks, height, and physical expressions.

My ability to adapt has always stood out. I've been immersed in many worlds and have had the influence of many things in my upbringing so I'm familiar with so many styles of living, so many characters, so many life paths and its just easy to simulate for me.

People want everything quick and now. We live in the age of social media and hyper digital. Tweets are published in less than a second, Safari pages load in less than three seconds.

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

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

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