I've always been transparent in who I am as a person.

I've always learned how to deal with my problems through my words, through my education, and through my intelligence, which I think is important and the best way to deal with an issue.

Of course designers inspired me, but I was more inspired by everyday people. People that I see walking down the street.

That's what fashion is supposed to do to you, it's supposed to make you happy, make you excited, make you feel good.

My wearing my hair in locs on an Oscar red carpet was to showcase them in a positive light, to remind people of color that our hair is good enough.

Every day when I'm thinking about something or want to do something, I say, "Hey, can we shoot some stuff?" or "Hey, can you come with me to the grocery store?" or "Hey, can you..." Just so I can share my personality and who I am, and also use it as a platform to do bigger, more important things.

Social Media has now become a part of our culture - you are either a part of it, or you ignore it.
