Destiny's Child was a part of me; I was blessed to even have that experience, but this is me doing my thing and that's all I can do.

I want to do projects that speak to people, things that inspire change, and projects that help people grow and help me grow in the process.

My parents got divorced when I was about ten years old, but I saw my mom go work two and three jobs to make sure we didn't miss a beat.

I just want to get my voice heard again and to allow people to know me outside of a group situation. I also want young girls who look up to me to know not to give up, even when people try and take you away from your destiny.

I love watching comedies. It's my favorite thing to watch and it always lifts my spirits.

Because of my acting career, I've had to bounce from city to city and get in the groove in the studio.

You have to be very cautious that you're hitting the right beats and making sure it's funny, but at the same time when those notes are serious, you're trying to get your point across and it's not about the comedy.
