It hurts a lot when you cannot really comprehend what a person is saying in a meeting, or you don't even understand what you're reading in your contract.

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.

There's not enough time to be disrespecting... Life is too short.

I felt ashamed about everything. Me dropping out of high school, me not, you know, just not being beautiful enough. I just didn't feel like I was smart enough or beautiful enough, you know, for years.

If we didn't have understanding of our journey, we wouldn't be able to go on. We'd be stuck, like, 'Why me?'

I do consider myself part of black history.

I wish I had an extra day with my mom sometimes. Or another hour in the day with my family, husband and children.
