I'm just vibrant. I try to bring that to everything I do.

You're not surviving if you're not on social media, period.

I always say that you are who you are and you can't hide it.

All of my friends are independent in thought, that's important.

Honestly, being a part of any worthy life story is a goal of mine.

I think it's a beautiful thing how Hip Hop is received by the world.

Social media is driving the culture, it drives peoples minds literally.

Actors don't act, we're just being in a different circumstance and scenario.

All music now is influenced by Hip Hop. It's so deeply ingrained in the culture.

When the passion isn't there, the drive isn't there and it just doesn't last for me.

The telling of a good story, especially one that is real and true, is always exciting.

Super-stardom doesn't scare or excite me. It's just another ingredient added to my world.

I didn't truly understand the depth of my roots until I was old enough to wonder and care.

It feels good to turn on the TV and have options, a variety. That's why television is so good.

I do everything I can on a daily basis just so I can have something to give back to the world.

Life would continue to exist and grow. Cause and effect still exist even where there is no time.

I love to love. However, you won't see anybody walking the red carpet with me until I'm married.

My friends are me and in essence better than me, they help me be better even when they don't know it.

I have a unique ability to mock everything. I'm a sponge by nature, thats what my environment made me.

I'm reminded everyday that I was born to do great things, I believe that and when it's my time I shall.

I'm pretty grounded in a lifestyle which disciplines me and gives me a sense of familiarity and comfort.

Everyone has a different route to success, recognition, and peace. Don't be afraid to move instinctually.

I know when to go and when to stop. I'm the red, the yellow, and the green light. That's me in a nutshell.

I surround myself with strong willed, courageous personalities, because I've got to be coached by the best.

I acknowledge that we are all human and are on a journey. We are not born perfect, mistakes are inevitable.

My sister is 4 years older than me and I've always looked up to her, she was the girl I always wanted to be.

For me, as an actor, going from TV to film was interesting because TV and film are two very different things.

There's very few shows that truly reflect specific ethnic experiences, and when they come and come right, they're a hit.

I don't admire how much a person has, I admire what a person does with what they have and I think that defines you most.

I've always been an actress, entertaining my family was the start. I'm a goof ball among many of my cousins and siblings.

You're sort of forced to include this aspect of culture into your life whether it be for social reasons or business purposes.

My hero among heroes is my grandmother, she's the epitome of strength and I try to mock that strength all the time. She's a beast.

My friends are a crayola box. They highlight different colors of my being, representing different aspects of my personalty, I've noticed.

I acknowledge my beauty and my flaws, I do my best to keep it one hundred with the woman in the mirror so making friends is actually easy.

I'm becoming more and more of a social media participant, so of course I can always be found everywhere from Twitter to Insta to Facebook.

I think friends are an extension of you and I always say, check out a persons five immediate friends and you'll know everything about them.

All of my close friends have been in my life for years. My best friends are all people I met in grade school, going back as far as 3rd grade.

Most people have no idea what Cabo Verde is or even where it is to mention, so I definitely want to make people aware of this beautiful culture.

I think the world should be represented on television and for the longest its been limited. Ethnic stories specifically need variety in content period.

Money is important yes, but not the most important. I don't need money to smile or breathe. I would still be breathing if all my money disappeared tomorrow.

You're living in a matrix that's driven by social media. It's become glorified. You're suppose to be what you portray on social media, thats the perception.

I feel blessed to have had the accumulation of life experiences that I've had, life experience just adds to the depths of a persons richness, as with acting!

I think it's really important to teach our children about their lineage and it especially makes a difference if you share that information while they're young.

It's always funny to me when people meet me. They really think I'm from the East coast off top. When they get to talkin' to me, they go "Oh no, she's sooooo Southern"

I was drawn into acting due to the fact that I could express myself better. I could use my voice - my entire body - not just my looks, height, and physical expressions.

Your life and everything about your world should be represented on your social media accounts, and everybody feels that way from family to friends to boyfriends and girlfriends.

As for super-stardom, I can say that I'm ready for anything. I feel like I've mastered so many stages in my life and the cool thing is, I don't see that energy changing anything.

People want everything quick and now. We live in the age of social media and hyper digital. Tweets are published in less than a second, Safari pages load in less than three seconds.

It feels good to watch TV and know that you're being represented on somebody's network and for certain communities, it feels even better to know that you're being depicted truthfully.

You just have to be careful because social media can begin to affect personal things such as relationships, just to pin point. People have become so entitled as it relates to social media.
