Serena Williams [ispires me]. The first time I met her, she was like, "We should hang out and go to dinner," and I'm like, "Uh, yeah! If you insist."

Never quit. Never give up.

You need your mom and dad to protect you. It means they love you so much. It was awesome she was backing me up and defending me.

I was just, you know, kind of getting racist jokes, kind of being isolated from the group. So it was definitely hard. I would come home at night and just cry my eyes out.

I wanted to tell my story and where I came from and my background, because it was not easy.

I would love to be a role model.

You know, God has a plan for me, and I'm going to follow in his footsteps and just rejoice and be happy.
