“I didn’t truly understand the depth of my roots until I was old enough to wonder and care.”

I acknowledge that we are all human and are on a journey. We are not born perfect, mistakes are inevitable.

Life would continue to exist and grow. Cause and effect still exist even where there is no time.

If you’re not broadcasting what people feel is their truth as it relates to you, well that becomes a problem.

All of my friends are independent in thought, that’s important.

People automatically assume and expect that every moment and every bit of personal data should be broadcasted on social media, especially as it relates to them – and thats just not cuttin’ it for me.

I was pretty much predominantly raised by women, as they make up most of my family anyway.

I think friends are an extension of you and I always say, check out a persons five immediate friends and you’ll know everything about them.

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.
