I decided to start embracing and wearing my natural hair, but there was only one problem; I didn't know what to do with it or how to style it. Growing up, all I knew was my relaxed, processed hair, so I had to go through this learning phase.

I don't want kids to be distracted by pipe dreams.

I'm definitely in a place where I'm looking for different than what I've done in the past, just so I can go to work and do something I haven't done before.

I think it's always nice to have a film where the underdog comes out on top, doing their best, and surpasses everybody's expectations.

Hollywood is so governed by the ego, and I never wanted to fall into that trap.

Thankfully, I was given a strong base by my parents, an understanding of who I was and my strength.

I'm very free with all my emotions, whether it's happy, sad, mad, glad, whatever.
