I just try to approach every opportunity on stage, as if it's my first time and my last time.

You can dream big and it doesn't matter what you look like, where you come from.

I learned how to communicate and articulate myself from ballet. It's just insane to me, when they don't think of that as a part of our education.

I think I'm pretty laid back. I like cooking, being at home, and going to concerts. And I love to shop!

When people meet me in person, they're usually surprised at how petite I am because there's just [an] idea that because I'm black I just look a certain way.

You can do anything you want, even if you are being told negative things.stay strong and find motivation.

Ballet is number one, everything else is scheduled in the small windows when I'm not in the studio taking class, rehearsing, on stage or on tour.
