We need to stop separating ourselves by how dark or how light we are.

I think people should have fun. And don't get so down on yourself. Enjoy life and be the best person you can be.

I come from a very small, poor town just outside of the Chicago area and I know what it's like to dream and accomplish some of your goals, but I would never want to do a show where I am preaching to anyone because I do not like being preached at. I want to learn right along with my audience and every show will be a collaborative effort. I am so thankful to Debra Lee and everyone at the BET Network for providing me with this unique opportunity and platform.

Don't depend on a guy for your happiness. You have to live your own life and do your own thing. That's when good things come around - when you do your own thing and you're not worried about a man. It will happen in due time.

Like my little sister and brother, I always play them my music because I want people like them to be able to relate to my music. They always know what's going on; they're up on what's new. For me, when they hear my music and they like it, I'm on the right track.

If there's a certain song that I want to reach a certain person or certain type of person, that's when I play it for people.

God is so good. Always follow your dreams, own your Purpose! Embrace God's Anointing
