I was happy to kind of always scoot under the radar.

My mom has never been a big meddler and isn't like extremely opinionated or at least just doesn't voice it to me. She's sort of let me come into my own by myself and I think that's just a testament to what my parents did in terms of raising us.

As an Ambassador for PSI and a supporter of Nothing But Nets, I have met individuals around the world who are lending their ideas, their voices, and their time to improve their communities and the world at large. And there are millions more that I have not met.

I'm very blessed that I get to dabble in both music and movies, and as long as people are willing to accept me in both roles, I'll be there.

I do think it's possible to change for the better.

Having this other career in music made me work harder as an actress. It's made me more professional.

My mom has always been my support system. She taught me to never give up and to keep pursuing my passions no matter what.
