I did kindergarten twice because I was so shy.
My first part in a play was one of the witches in 'Macbeth.'
There were a lot of times people would do my makeup, and it would be awful, and I would be orange. Nothing matched. So then you learn how to do your own makeup. I watched a lot of YouTube videos when I was little and taught myself.
My room used to be full of Michael Jackson posters.
I've loved Michael Jackson since the minute I was born. He's probably the most talented person ever. He was able to create such an amazing career and be probably the biggest star we've ever had.
There are so many great things in life; why dwell on negativity?
I was born an auntie. I have an older niece and nephew and many younger nieces and nephews.
My mom started working at the California Shakespeare Theater in Oakland when I was two years old, so I've always grown up around theater.
Oakland kids are always the best.
If you're from Oakland, and you're not a Raiders fan, then you're not from Oakland.
My older brothers and sisters have kids and families.
I think when you're young, you're a lot more open-minded, and sometimes you're a lot more perceptive about what's going on in the world.
I love my fashion, so I gotta have my outfits.
Honestly, I just love great performers and people who love what they do.
I don't think people understand the power of social media or our phones.
I didn't like my hair and makeup one time on a photo shoot, and my publicist told me, 'You should just be happy with it - they haven't had a black girl on the cover since forever.' She's no longer my publicist.
I don't think it is important to be a role model, because if you are a role model, you are pretending to be someone else.
Doing and making positive programming for young people is so important to me, and I will keep doing it.
One of my dreams is to walk down the runway during Fashion Week!
I secretly want to shave my head.
