You might be someone's favorite, but you might not be someone else's favorite. I will tell you that there was a [casting notice] that said "Tracee Ellis Ross type," but [the producers] didn't want to see me. I've been in this industry long enough to know that even if someone wants to promise me something, it doesn't mean that it's going to happen. There are so many things at play. But it was flattering and exciting.

I want to be awake. I want to choose kindness, live & let live. I want joy, gratitude, and peace today.

When you feel happy, you look beautiful.

There is a way to be a woman, ask for what we deserve and be able to negotiate.

One of the photographers was like, "Can you stop talking and try to look sexy for a minute?"

I am learning every day to allow the space between where I am and where I want to be to inspire me and not terrify me.

I'm trying to find my own version of what makes me feel beautiful.
