Africa doesn't leap on you immediately; it seeps slowly, and it's incredibly important to be respectful and humble there.
A lot of the girls I grew up with were pregnant by the time they were 16. I just was lucky.
I have been training since 8th grade, but it has to do with listening, more than practice.
I just think fashion is about enjoying yourself and being comfortable in your skin and allowing you to be you - all the way live.
I love foods that start in my cheeks and then vibrate up.
Seriously, in America there are more big, curvy girls than there are little girls, and men love us, too.
'Saturday Night Live' is a show that I think I could have a lot of fun on, just being different characters and maybe singing, too.

My intention is to make music that you can enjoy at all times.
