“I’ve had friends get mad at me for not posting what they think I should post on Instagram on behalf of them or our relation.”

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 would still be breathing if all my money disappeared tomorrow.

I just simply believe in having purposeful relations, period. That’s what its about at the end of the day.

I think the world should be represented on television and for the longest its been limited.

I don’t admire how much a person has, I admire what a person does with what they have and I think that defines you most.

However, I do appreciate people that are individualistic, mainly because I’m an impressionable soul and my friends become my big sisters and brothers in a way.

Given that this was all at a tender age, I imagine I was very impressionable.

It’s always funny to me when people meet me. They really think I’m from the East coast off top. When they get to talkin’ to me, they go “Oh no, she’s sooooo Southern”
