If I hadn't gone through some of the painful experiences in my life, I would not be me.
I grew up upper-class. Private school, my dad had a Jaguar. We're African-American and we work together as a family, so people assume we're like the Jacksons. But I didn't have parents using me to get out of a bad situation.
The more you mature, you realize that this imperfections make your more beautiful.
I am a woman and when I think, I must speak.
Power is not given to you. You have to take it.
I'm just free. And I can express my sensuality. I can express my pain, vulnerability, my strength. All of those things. Because I had a sheltered upbringing doesn't mean I haven't been a woman. I'm a woman that has had life experiences.
