I do remember being teased by my cousins on my mom's side for not being black enough. And then I'd spend the summer with my dad and be sent to all white summer camps where I was 'that black girl.'

I don't have a lot of friends; most of the friends I have, I've had since high school.

I struggle with deciding when to answer or ignore the constant speculation about my private life, because I feel like that doesn't belong to anybody but me.

I'm the little half-black, half-Jewish girl who was odd and awkward. I try to be myself.

I like being in relationship because of the comfort it provides.

I’ve always been a woman of faith.
