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

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.'

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.

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

I’ve always been a woman of faith.
