I grew up watching foreign programs - American, English, Mexican, and very little Kenyan. 'The Color Purple' was the first time I saw people who looked like me.

There's always a sense of newness with acting, because every role, you come to every role fresh.

I'm pretty awesome at making salad dressings.

I realized that beauty was not a thing that I could acquire or consume, it was something that I just had to be.

I've worked hard to feel beautiful in my natural skin. Personally, I don't ever want to depend on makeup to feel beautiful.
