Everybody's problem is not yours, regardless of marriage and relationships, and I think women sometimes have to shed "what we think it should be" and address "what it is".

I didn't plan on being a single mom, but you have to deal with the cards you are dealt the best way you can.

I call myself taking control of a situation, but sometimes you really have to learn to humble yourself and to submit yourself. I'm not really good with submission, so that's the part of marriage and relationships that I've found very hard to deal with.

I used to go with solid blue, but recently I've found that a mix of red and green is a better fit for my personality.

It's unfortunate that some people do not see what entertainers do in the background, but many of us do so much work with causes. You know some people have chewed me out, saying things like, "Oh why could you post pictures in your dresses and meanwhile they killing black men on the street?" I'm thinking, excuse me do you know what I did today? Do you know what I'm doing right now while I'm reading this post? So I think a lot of celebrities get a bad rap because people see the surface.

While there's plenty to be said for drive and talent, it was my parents' support that started me on the path that led me here today.

An innocent little human being was solely dependent on me! I took all the CPR and breastfeeding classes and learned quite a bit.
