Getting a degree, being on Sesame Street... those were like real accomplishments to me.

But really, we also need to learn how to love one another as women. How to appreciate and respect each other.

I like to work spontaneously.

One of the album's songs features Mary J. Blige, but I don't want to talk too much about it yet. I think you will hear the music that's been playing in my head when it comes out

Being a singer is a way for me to get to a platform to do more.

As you get older, though, you realize there are fire extinguishers. You do have an ability to control the flames.

I'm a woman and I'm a backbone...everybody needs one.
