In high school I definitely had a clique of friends. And what I loved about it was that we were healthy and good girls.

I talked about adopting a baby when I was 20 years old, before it became 'hip.'

Stop saying these negative things about yourself. Look in the mirror and find something about yourself that's positive and celebrate that!

Black women have always been these vixens, these animalistic erotic women. Why can't we just be the sexy American girl next door?

I hate when models say 'Oh, plastic surgery is just a wrong thing. What are you talking about? You won the genetic lottery. You look like this specimen that's making people everywhere feel insecure and you're going to ridicule someone for getting plastic surgery?

I went from being very popular and the head of the clique in the sixth grade to having, like, kid depression in the seventh grade. Not leaving the house. Not looking people in the eye... My body made me feel bad at everything.

You can have all the potential in world, but unless you have confidence, you have nothing.
