I think conveying the emotion of the collective "we" is pretty incredible. Especially in tumultuous times like we are in now.

I just wanted to be who I was, which was like so many other girls I knew. We grew up in the city, had a hard edge and obstacles to overcome, but we were still young and beautiful. I didn't want to be all dressed up, all made up - I wanted to be myself, which hadn't been done before.

When I am truly present, I feel alive, and I want everyone around me to share that feeling so we can make the most of that moment together.

In fact, I think that's my favorite word and the most important word when it comes to relationships: equality.

I've stepped more into my womanhood, I'm a mother now, I'm having a beautiful relationship as a wife and as a friend.

And I love kick boxing. It's a lot of fun. It gives you a lot of confidence when you can kick somebody in the head.

Writing in my journal keeps me focused on my spirit and what I need or feel.
