Love me like you'll never see me again.

My mixed-race background made me a broad person, able to relate to different cultures. But any woman of colour, even a mixed colour, is seen as black in America. So that's how I regard myself.

I feel more like I'm a person who has so much to offer in different capacities that it would be a danger for me not to give myself a chance to spread my wings in all different directions.

Here's my pet peeve: The not-so-unstated rule that all women are only to be treated as sexual objects and gawked at-you know, sitting up against a car, washing something, bending over, licking something. That just drives me crazy.

It's a beautiful blessing that I get to help raise a man. And I want to show him as much as possible.

Gangsta rap was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other. Gangsta rap didnt exist.

I promised myself that I'd never actually admit to listening to 'New Kids on the Block.'
