I think people have a misconception of me, period. My life has been a whirlwind sometimes, but it's different to what people think. I definitely feel like there's a misconception about me and who I am.

In the beginning, yes I did go back... (but) I learned that if it's continued abusive, you just can't stay there. When guys are young, they make mistakes. Nobody's perfect, but, if they do it more than once, then it's definitely a habit

I know I always say my occupation is not dancing, but dancing is in my heart, dancing makes me feel good.

I still don't think I'm really a beautiful person, but I know that I can be beautiful inside.

I really want people to understand that nobody is perfect and that things happen in life beyond our control.

I have low self-esteem and I always have. Guys always cheated on me with women who were European-looking. You know, the long-hair type. Really beautiful women that left me thinking, 'How I can I compete with that?' Being a regular black girl wasn't good enough.

A lot of people let me down... A lot of people I thought were my friends turned on me.
