I got into cooking just by watching my mom and my aunts and my great-aunts and actually one of my cousins who has her own catering business in Atlanta, Georgia. So everybody around me really cooked and it was just all these different styles and backgrounds and cuisines of cooking that I found so interesting.

I love food so much, all I have to do is look at it and I gain 5 pounds.

I think nowadays we're often sidetracked by what somebody got popular doing with all due respect to what they do, but it should be about the talent.

I would never become a size zero. I work out because I want to look good naked, simple as that.

Being single is about celebrating and appreciating your own space that you're in.

Life is really a blessing to be able to do what you love everyday, to learn about yourself. For me it's been about becoming a woman, and I've really enjoyed that experience.

We all have different things that we go through in our everyday life, and it's really important to know just at the end of the day, it doesn't matter what you face, you know, that you're going to win at the end of the day. You got to believe in yourself. You got to believe in God, know that He's going to get you through it.
