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.

I dreamed really big when I was little.

I am so girly. I love dresses.

Not having a private life is hard.

I worked at Ikea as a customer service rep for two years and loved it.

I auditioned for 'American Idol' at 17. They told me, 'No.'

As long as you are being true to yourself, you will always find happiness.
