To me, locs are a symbol of strength and beauty, almost like a lion's mane.

[My fashion] line is inspired by real people, so I guess you could say it was listening to them, what they need, what they want and then translating that into coming from me.

I like to [unplug] and enjoy being a human.

That's what is really cool about this whole new wave of makeup artistry and people on Instagram and YouTube: It's about doing it for yourself and experimenting. People don't wear makeup to impress people or because they'll be seen in public. It's more of a hobby now, just because it's fun.

I think women are very powerful and I think we're more powerful together than separated.

I've always dressed myself, even when I was younger. My parents didn't pick out my clothes or anything. They let me do that, which I think is an important thing because it allows for kids to experiment and figure out what they like, even at a young age.

It's so hard for women to be happy for one another, like genuinely happy. Once you find that, you know you've found true SELF happiness.
