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

I love Barbra Streisand. Anybody who knows me knows I just love her, love her, love her!

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 have a hard time watching myself! Usually I do the work, and then I leave it. So I pretend like I'm not on TV every week.

Whatever your ethnicity is, in this life you are going to be on a journey to discover who you are and how you feel about yourself.
