There is no secret, you try and never stop trying. If you have to sleep all day, and get up the next day, you keep trying. If you have to take 3 years away, do it and then come back. But it's all about trying. Not everything will work, but some things will, and you have to try.

No matter what anybody says, what matters most is what you think of yourself.

I'm still afraid of things, obviously - we're human. But I like that feeling of being afraid.

It's always sad to me when certain people are excluded from being considered beautiful... because of someone else's expectation. That bothers me.

I don't see social media as lending my voice as much as I see it speaking my truth. If you look at my open letters, the one I wrote about Blue Ivy too - you see, I am always as the foundation, talking about us being a better humanity. I believe in that.

Strength, courage & wisdom...it's been inside of me all along.

Because of what I've chosen to do for my work in the world, almost every time that there's something that I'm afraid to do that I need to do, I have to do it in front of other people. It makes me feel exposed.
