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.
couple years glamorous
In a couple of years, I'll be the most glamorous woman, hopefully.
design television want
I want to do television, film, music and designing. I want to do it all!
who-i-am people want
I'm my own person, and I want people to know me for who I am.
fashion express-yourself
Don't be afraid to express yourself through fashion!
good-night sleep way
A good night's sleep is always the best way to wake up and go to work.
girl mom mother
My goal is to be a household name, and when I do that, I want to help other girls become models, and maybe even launch a fashion line with my mom, like Beyonce did with her mother. My mom has such a good eye, and it's always been a dream of hers.
work thinking years
Five years from now I see myself still working hard to get where I want to be, because I think big.
love-you self-love accepting-yourself
Accept yourself, love yourself.
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.
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.
who-i-am body embrace
I am comfortable with my body and embrace who I am. I love to work it.
eye praying breathe
I don't like to fly. What's it called when the plane shakes? Turbulence, takeoffs... I grab my chair, close my eyes, count to 30, breathe, and pray.
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.
