It takes time to be who you really want to be. It doesn't happen overnight.

I’m 23 right now and I feel like I’m still trying to figure it out. Maybe in another two years, I’ll have it all together. So maybe 25 is the age at which a woman feels her most beautiful just because she’s survived her teenage years and early twenties.

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

It takes time to be who you really want to be. It doesn't happen overnight.

I always take my time when picking out outfits at home, but I will say I can change pretty quick when I'm in a hurry.

I'm thinking of slowing down on modeling and branching out to other things. I want to pursue some new and old dreams and start making them happen.

That’s my next journey - to be a great actress.
