I actually love my natural hair when it's in a twist out and it's been slept on for five days and revived by the steam of the shower.

What's important is that my family and I are all good.

I remember being really young and having this voice inside that told me to trust my gut. And my gut has been really, really strong in my life. It's pretty vocal and it leads me.

I think many people, especially from other cultures, just don't understand the role hair plays in Black women's lives.

I don't really have guilty pleasures. Anything musically that I fully, fully believe, is good no matter who the artist is, no matter what the marketing is behind it, I stand pretty firm.

I think the thing about what I want to achieve for the label is it to really be a home for artists who are already developed, who already have a great sense of their artistry or their imaging, who don't really feel or want that marketing push.

I have to learn how to say no a lot. Life is too short for anything else.
