As a kid, I dreamed about being onstage.

The only person that I'm really feeling - because she has an identity of her own, even though she has listened to Mary J. Blige - is Jill Scott.

For the first time in my life, I'm proud of myself

My God is a God who wants me to have things. He wants me to bling. He wants me to be the hottest thing on the block.

Growing up, I was the preferred hairstylist for all of my friends.

My main exercise is cardio. The treadmill is fine, but running outdoors gives me the best results. I try to log 6 to 8 miles a week. I could be in the worst mood, but when I do my cardio, I feel much, much better.

When you tell your truth, you are coming from a real place, so you are automatically a leader.
