I've seen so many lives turn around from the impossible. I have come to embrace the idea that even the simplest act of understanding, love, and attention can produce the biggest results.
Giorgio Armani made it especially for me. I feel like a winner.
I've gotten more into my feminine side. It's sexy but with an edge. I like to try new things, whether people like it or not.
Not having all the information can make me feel vulnerable.
The energy of the crowd fuels something new inside. It reminds me to live in the moment.
I'm having an unbelievable time on the road. I am taking the time to explore each new city in a way I never have before.
devastated. I can't stop thinking about it. I can't stop talking about it. I want to do my part.
It's the unknown that makes me feel the most vulnerable.
With each new day, I'm learning how to take control in order to have balance in my life. I plan time for myself and my loved ones and take it.
It's perfect for me, ... It's a period piece, and I'm totally in love with period pieces. And that it is about this woman who was a classical prodigy, who grew up in Harlem, where I grew up, who is obviously half-black and half-white, like I am, who studied classical (music), like I did. But the twist comes in for me, obviously, because the time period had so much tension.
I'm committed to evolving and growing and sitting at the head of my own table with no fears or limitations. But I've also learned to be more open now and more spontaneous in life.
I love my heritage! I have my mother, who is an Irish-Italian, and my father who is African, so I have the taste buds of an Italian and the spice of an African.
I feel more like I'm a person who has so much to offer in different capacities that it would be a danger for me not to give myself a chance to spread my wings in all different directions.
Still when I'm a mess I still put on a vest With an 'S' on my chest Oh yes, I'm a Superwoman
