I acknowledge that we are all human and are on a journey. We are not born perfect, mistakes are inevitable.

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

You're not surviving if you're not on social media, period.

I'm just vibrant. I try to bring that to everything I do.

I think I unknowingly seek people who are better than me in the sense of strength and wisdom. It's like I've got to know and trust that you have the answers and that you can carry me if needed.

My family has always had Cape Verdean pride but I don't think it was something the kids in the family necessarily understood. However, I was very conscious of the fact that both sides of my family were drastically different and my aunts, cousins, and uncles varied in different shades of brown.

You're living in a matrix that's driven by social media. It's become glorified. You're suppose to be what you portray on social media, thats the perception.
