I used to dress up as a model for Halloween, like every year.

My goal is to be a household name, and when I do that, I want to help other girls become models, and maybe even launch a fashion line with my mom, like Beyonce did with her mother. My mom has such a good eye, and it's always been a dream of hers.

You learn to be comfortable in your own skin, and your body changes throughout life, so you can't sweat the small stuff.

A good night's sleep is always the best way to wake up and go to work.

Mostly I'm proud to be an African-American woman, but I'm glad I have a universal look as well.

I'm grateful to look the way I do. However, if I could change anything, I would like to be a bit bigger all over. Not much - just a bit.

I don't want to be known as the black model. I want to be recognized as Chanel Iman, a personality.
