People don't realize how badly verbal harassment and cyber bullying affects you. I wish they had hit me in the face and gotten it over with, because what they said to me, sticks to me to this day. It affected me into the person that I am today.
Everyone has the bully or the mean girl or the ex-boyfriend who tried to bring them down.
I know first hand what its like to be called names and to be affected by things. They would call me fat, they would call me promiscuous in different words. At the time, when I was 12-years-old, that was like the end of the world. To me, bullying is one of my biggest platforms. Lets change the world.
I want to help with bullying because there are girls who can't just up and homeschool and focus on their career.
As a kid I'd play with homemade recipes, like putting pineapple on my face to exfoliate my skin and doing facial steams with lavender or peppermint oils. I just loved doing stuff like that. It's what motivated me to launch my skin care line.
Growing up in America, I never really appreciated my culture. I knew what being Hispanic was, but I thought that since I didn't look Hispanic, I was white.
If you're hurting, don't be afraid to seek the help you need! Speak to someone - it may just change your life.
I'm very passionate about charity... Performing is my passion. But it's not gonna change the world. That's why I give back.
I allowed social media to define what I thought of my body. And now I realize that no matter how thin you are, someone will call you fat. No matter how beautiful you are, someone will call you ugly. But you can't spend your time worrying about that. You're just not going to please the world.
I tried to conform to what everyone thinks is beautiful. But my genetics gave me a curvy figure, and I've come to understand that in the Latina culture, that is beautiful.
I think that's what goes wrong in a lot of people's careers, so many people are afraid to say, "This person has a problem" or "This person maybe shouldn't do this" because they're afraid of losing their jobs.
The more active I am, the better I feel and the longer I can stay onstage without losing my breath.
If I could turn back time, I would tell myself that I'm beautiful every day, because we all are! And we need to start believing it!
I feel most confident when I'm taking care of my body and my skin.
