journey actresses next
That’s my next journey - to be a great actress.
magazines saws firsts
The first time my friends saw me in a magazine I was so excited.
the-end-of-the-day looks blame
At the end of the day, I feel like I have no one to blame but myself if I'm not satisfied with how I look on the runway.
fashion crazy sleep
Honestly, I try to forget Fashion Week once it's over. I just want to go home and rest and just forget I even did it. It could drive you crazy! It's just show after show after show, and you're missing your family and they feel really far away. You don't go to sleep. You work for a month.
sweat skins body
You learn to be comfortable in your own skin, and your body changes throughout life, so you can't sweat the small stuff.
fun listening heritage
My taste in music originates from my culture and heritage, and from traveling the world and listening to all kinds of fun sounds and bits.
beautiful teenage years
I’m 23 right now and I feel like I’m still trying to figure it out. Maybe in another two years, I’ll have it all together. So maybe 25 is the age at which a woman feels her most beautiful just because she’s survived her teenage years and early twenties.
knights one-day magazines
I have had the privilege of working with the best in the business, from photographers to designers to magazines. There's not much more to ask for but I'm still looking forward to one day working with photographers Mert and Marcus, Tim Walker and Nick Knight.
home outfits i-can
I always take my time when picking out outfits at home, but I will say I can change pretty quick when I'm in a hurry.
mom house magazines
We always had 'Vogue' in our house. But, when I was around 12, my Mom finally took me seriously about modeling and put a stack of magazines in front of me, then told me to study all the poses. The ones I loved the most were in 'Vogue.
who-i-am body embrace
I am comfortable with my body and embrace who I am. I love to work it.
want take-time it-takes-time
It takes time to be who you really want to be. It doesn't happen overnight.
girl games long
It usually takes an ethnic girl - I'm not saying black, I'm saying ethnic, let's make that clear - twice as long. We've gotta work extra-hard to stay in the game and stay with the girls who do well but aren't ethnic.
halloween years dresses
I used to dress up as a model for Halloween, like every year.
