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.

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.

Social media is driving the culture, it drives peoples minds literally.

I have a unique ability to mock everything. I'm a sponge by nature, thats what my environment made me.

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

I acknowledge my beauty and my flaws, I do my best to keep it one hundred with the woman in the mirror so making friends is actually easy.

I feel blessed to have had the accumulation of life experiences that I've had, life experience just adds to the depths of a persons richness, as with acting!
