I think it's important that artists use their voices for so much more than just their talent.

Just because you're on the Disney Channel and you always have a smile on your face, they think you're perfect, and it's obvious that nobody's life really is.

I still had a normal childhood with my friends from school.

I tried to conform to what everyone thinks is beautiful. But my genetics gave me a curvy figure, and I've come to understand that in the Latina culture, that is beautiful.

If you're hurting, don't be afraid to seek the help you need! Speak to someone - it may just change your life.

I have to ask myself, Am I content with calling myself a feminist? Yes, because I speak out.

I believe in gender equality.
