Treat your body like you would treat a friend.

I haven't personally experienced bullying, but when I was in high school, I had a best friend who became a bully. I took a stand and took it upon myself to separate from her. I couldn't be associated with her because it wasn't the type of person I wanted to be.

I want to encourage young women to stand up for each other and speak up when they see others in a tough situation.

Not having a private life is hard.

Being the person I am, you know, the size I am, being a woman, being a black woman, there's not a lot of roles for us.

When I receive letters from girls that say, 'You give me confidence,' I think, 'Wow, this is amazing.' That's my goal: to let people know it's truly what's on the inside that counts.

I am so girly. I love dresses.
