My music career has been very rewarding, but success never came easily.

I consider myself a laborer, building my career brick over brick under the sun.

The music teacher thought I sang like a goat. It was kind of devastating. A few months after that, I participated in a music contest and won. I took my little trophy to school and rubbed it in his nose. I said to him, "What do you say now?"

Education affects every major challenge we face in society. It creates economic growth, paves the way for peace and stability and helps erase the legacy of marginalization.

Women should feel happy with their bodies and not live with the stigma that comes from not looking like models in fashion magazines.

In the full light of day, I don't want to think about the sunset.

In this life, to earn your place you have to fight for it.
