Fashion is part of our culture, and it's about more than just a pretty dress.

I think its nice to know that people in the industry are paying attention to all of the hard work youve done throughout the years and rewarding you for it. It reminds you to keep doing it, to keep pushing yourself, and to always remain that way.

My bikini, a pair of black high heels and a pair of comfortable jeans.

I need someone who always wants more out of life. Like me - I'm just that way.

I try not to go to sleep with makeup, because I think it clogs your pores. I always wash my face with something that contains salicylic acid.

I'd like to see more beauty campaigns for girls who are mixed Latina and black. And if I'm in them, that's great, but overall there's a scarcity there. Companies need to be more mindful of the world we live in and who their consumer is.

I was always very, very insecure about my height. Even as a 15-year-old I was a foot and a half taller than everyone.
