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

It's very seldom that we see the good of the South. There is a perception that Southerners are racists and everyone else in the nation is 'enlightened.' There is racism everywhere, and there is good everywhere.

Weight issues, race issues will always be there and if you allow them to get to you and you allow them to affect you then yes they affect you. But my thing is I have so many other things to worry about I can't worry about other people's perception of me.

I was not a Girl Scout, but I try to be very prepared. I triple-Spanx!

Our challenges make us unique, and how we deal with them makes us unique.

I can only live in my truth.

I think that young women and little girls need to see that they don't have to be the damsel in distress. They don't have to not show their strength. They don't have to be whatever the stereotype is or the tropes that we go to in our minds.
