“My dream is like a child and I’m taking all the custody.”

I’m the type of person where I’ll take on anything because I like to work so much.

I don’t want to be super serious but I want to have fun with my platform. I want to touch people, I want to be relatable and let girls know that you can go to college and still pursue what you want after that.

How we grind make the weather change for us.

When you’re a college student interested in music, you hear all these rappers talking about dropping out. For me, when I heard someone like J. Cole rapping about school and staying in school, it inspired me to keep going.

I don’t jump to conclusions I gracefully fall to them.

I grew up all around the Bay, but I spent most of my time in Hayward and I loved it. It was a really big apartment community, there was a whole bunch of kids.

With a lot of attention comes criticism, but I’ll take that. I’m reaching all the goals I’ve set for myself, so you can’t say anything bad about that.

The experiences I go through, everything you hear in my lyrics is real. Good or bad, I take it all in and put it all on the mic.

I am the investment.

After I graduated, I didn’t have the resources to go to the studio, which is why I then went to social media.

With social media, the gatekeepers are our followers. It has opened so many doors for me not only musically, but fashion-wise as well.

I was working three jobs and going to school full time. I was really unhappy and I told myself, You are not this girl. This sounds corny but I would tell myself, You are an Icy Girl. I’m a confident person, but that was the first time I experienced insecurity and low self-esteem.

I just like really expensive things.

It’s cool to go into the simplicity of fashion, but I’m a very colorful person.

I’m normally getting glammed for my events and when I can give my skin a break, I do.

In order to be an icon, you need to be bold. How do I define boldness? Stepping outside of your comfort zone.

If I can sit down for freedom, you can stand up for children.

Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.

It’s a funny thing about mothers and fathers. Even when their own child is the most disgusting little blister you could ever imagine, they still think that he or she is wonderful.

I don’t think one parent can raise a child. I don’t think two parents can raise a child. You really need the whole village.

You can write about anything for children as long as you’ve got humour.

Children want the same things we want. To laugh, to be challenged, to be entertained, and delighted.

Therefore all childish fear must be put away.

Safety and security don’t just happen, they are the result of collective consensus and public investment. We owe our children, the most vulnerable citizens in our society, a life free of violence and fear.
