night people dating
I don't really talk about my personal life. It's a strange and funny and weird thing. Sometimes you have a conversation with someone and the paparazzi snaps a picture of you and people decide you're dating. If I try to answer everything people say, I would be up all night.
mom mother blessed
I'm extremely blessed to have the extraordinary mother that I have, and I don't mean Diana Ross, I mean the mother. My mom paved a road that didn't exist, as did Oprah.
girlfriend mean friendly
[Black-ish creator] Kenya Bariss wrote on Girlfriends. We've been friendly since then. He sent me [the pilot] and said, "I wrote it for you." But I know what that means in this industry.
beautiful love-is want
I just want to say this. I love being a woman. I love playing a woman. I love being a whole and full woman. I am more than my parts, and we all are. And we all, as women, need to continue to change our gaze from how we are seen to how we are seeing. We are full and beautiful women. And let us live in that.
real makeup somewhere-else
My bathroom is filled with hair and makeup stuff and I play with it all the time. What the real lesson is, is that you can own your own sense of beauty. It doesn't have to be something you get from somewhere else.
needs need-a-change seeing
We as women need to change our gaze from HOW WE ARE 'SEEN' to HOW WE ARE 'SEEING'.
thinking thank-god married
Getting to a place where I am comfortable saying things was hard-earned for me. I've chewed on the ground glass of my own experience. I saw Gloria Steinem speak, and I was just like, Shut the front door. She was saying that she didn't come into her own until her 40s, and she was asking herself the question, Why should she have to get married? And I just thank God someone asked that question, right? I think we're the first generation of women asking ourselves certain questions and deciding for ourselves.
moments okay hardest
In some of the darkest and hardest moments, there is always a part of me that is okay. And I can always access that part of me.
philosophy knowing space
As a younger person, my philosophy was jump off a cliff. I realize now that there are stairs and elevators. I am learning every day to allow the space between where I am and where I want to be to inspire me and not terrify me. I can even ask for help! Not feeling that I have to know everything, and that’s where the growth comes in, in the not knowing.
trying and-love accepting
It was when I realized I needed to stop trying to be somebody else and be myself, that I actually started to own, accept and love what I had,
compassion curiosity judgment
I like to choose compassion over judgment and curiosity over fear.
gratitude kindness joy
I want to be awake. I want to choose kindness, live & let live. I want joy, gratitude, and peace today.
hair people embrace
Just embrace your hair! I really feel like I am not an advocate for people doing what I do. I'm an advocate for people discovering and finding what works for them.
inspirational hard-times space
I am learning every day to allow the space between where I am and where I want to be to inspire me and not terrify me.
