My mother helped me identify myself the way the world would identify me. Bloodlines didn't matter as much as how I would be perceived.

My pregnancy was amazing. I was happy that whole time, I felt good, I had energy, I was like Superwoman. I wish I could feel like that for the rest of my life, that's how fantastic it was.

Being a mother is probably the most important thing in my life right now.

I'm not a fanatic about exercising. For me, it's about moderation and balance.

I realize as you age the less makeup you wear the younger you look.

I was black growing up in an all-white neighborhood, so I felt like I just didn't fit in. Like I wasn't as good as everybody else, or as smart, or whatever.

I find when I have short hair, I feel like I have nothing to hide behind anymore.
