Other than the obvious, like Cher and Diana Ross, I actually find a lot of inspiration from time periods. So it's not necessarily people, it's the essence of the time period, whether it be the '90s or the '70s or the '40s. The specific time and what vibe it gave you, what the emotion of that time was, and trying to get that emotion again.

If you don't try things and take risks, you don't really grow and figure out what you want.

I get to represent a lot of different types of women because of my ability to transform into these different people.

I wore that same outfit that the male model over there is wearing. It's inclusive, it feels good and that's what I wanted. I want people to feel good.

Shake It Up is a buddy comedy based around dance. It's about two best friends Rocky and CeCe who live out their dream as background dancers on a show called Shake It Up Chicago. They have to navigate life as young teens going to school and dancing on the show.

I would say my best decision I ever made was to pursue my dream and give it my all. Thankfully, I have not yet made really bad decisions, I'm the kind of person to play it on the safe side.

If you get basics that can be switched and piece it together, that is so important.
