I just know that the one thing that we all have in common is challenges. No one lives a challenge free life.

I hope that in some way that I can be some sort of beacon of hope, especially because I am not the typical Hollywood beauty.

As you make your way along life's tumultuous highways, it's important to note that you should always carry a map, have plenty of fuel in the tank, and take frequent rest stops.

I don't have one role that I want to play. I guess... I want to be a producer. I want to be an activist. I want to be proactive in bringing about work for men, women, boys, girls, everybody who is good at what they do and deserve a shot at it.

I can only live in my truth.

You can't be from Montgomery, Alabama, and not have a background in the church. It's at the core of who we are as a people.

I'm probably the most militant person you'll ever meet and I speak my mind without provocation sometimes.
