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.

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

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 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.

I’ve always been a woman of faith.

When love is absent, then there is fear, and in my opinion you should lead your entire life through love.

We keep secrets from people that we love because we're afraid of our own truth. I think sometimes we're afraid to hurt people, because you never know. I think we're afraid of what is, and what can't be.
