What's becoming very obvious to me is that fashion is art.

I grew up in Nairobi, which is the capital of Kenya, so it's hustle and bustle, and there's always something going on.

In the madness, you have to find calm.

Whoopi Goldberg looked like me, she had hair like mine, she was dark like me. I'd been starved for images of myself. I'd grown up watching a lot of American TV.

I haven't yet figured out how to be a celebrity; that's something I'm learning, and I wish there were a course on how to handle it. I have to be aware that my kinesphere may be larger than I want it to be.

What I've learned from myself is that I don't have to be anybody else. Myself is good enough.

To be human is to seek perfection, and find joy in never attaining it.
