“As for super-stardom, I can say that I’m ready for anything. I feel like I’ve mastered so many stages in my life and the cool thing is, I don’t see that energy changing anything.”

I was drawn into acting due to the fact that I could express myself better.

Most people have no idea what Cabo Verde is or even where it is to mention, so I definitely want to make people aware of this beautiful culture.

However, I was very conscious of the fact that both sides of my family were drastically different and my aunts, cousins, and uncles varied in different shades of brown.

My hero among heroes is my grandmother, she’s the epitome of strength and I try to mock that strength all the time. She’s a beast.

You just have to be careful because social media can begin to affect personal things such as relationships, just to pin point. People have become so entitled as it relates to social media.

I love to love. However, you won’t see anybody walking the red carpet with me until I’m married.

Your life and everything about your world should be represented on your social media accounts, and everybody feels that way from family to friends to boyfriends and girlfriends.

I surround myself with strong willed, courageous personalities, because I’ve got to be coached by the best.

I do everything I can on a daily basis just so I can have something to give back to the world.

I’ve had people question my “integrity” based off of something I didn’t post on social media, the list goes on. It’s mind boggling.

I think I unknowingly seek people who are better than me in the sense of strength and wisdom. It’s like I’ve got to know and trust that you have the answers and that you can carry me if needed.

If your not broadcasting how much you love your boyfriend or husband via social media, problems occur in the home and I really think this is happening more than we acknowledge.

My family has always had Cape Verdean pride but I don’t think it was something the kids in the family necessarily understood.

My friends are a crayola box. They highlight different colors of my being, representing different aspects of my personalty, I’ve noticed.

I acknowledge my beauty and my flaws, I do my best to keep it one hundred with the woman in the mirror so making friends is actually easy.

Some people love what money can do and therefore would do anything to get it, they love the power, they chase it, while others understand what money can do.

I don’t control what people say. I don’t control what people put on dot-com or anything else.

This was due to the fact that they encouraged you always to make sure that God is the focus of your life, and they didn’t allow you to do anything except to the very best of your ability.

My mother was my biggest role model. She taught me to hate waste. We never wasted anything.

Successful people will always tell you you can do something. It’s the people who have never accomplished anything who will always discourage you from trying to achieve excellent things.

There’s a spirit in anything, I think, into which we weave our soul. Not many pilots talk about it, but they think about it in the quiet dark of a night flight.

To bring anything into your life, imagine that it’s already there.

Live never to be ashamed if anything you say or do is published around the world, even if what is said is not true.

If what you did yesterday seems big, you haven’t done anything today.
