My sister is 4 years older than me and I've always looked up to her, she was the girl I always wanted to be.

I've had friends get mad at me for not posting what they think I should post on Instagram on behalf of them or our relation. I've had people question my "integrity" based off of something I didn't post on social media, the list goes on. It's mind boggling.

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

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.

All of my close friends have been in my life for years. My best friends are all people I met in grade school, going back as far as 3rd grade.

I don't admire how much a person has, I admire what a person does with what they have and I think that defines you most.

If you're not broadcasting what people feel is their truth as it relates to you, well that becomes a problem. If your not broadcasting how much you love your boyfriend or husband via social media, problems occur in the home and I really think this is happening more than we acknowledge.
