“I finally decided to give music my all. If it didn’t work out and I had to move home, fine. I had to give it 100% first.”

If I want to listen to myself as much as I want to listen to Drake or Beyonce, I feel like that’s a good sign.

Time is of the essence.

I’ve been wanting to do music since I was 14, but like I’ve really always enjoyed giving speeches and I enjoy talking to people, so I was like, maybe I can be a newscaster.

Growing up with a house full of women and seeing them look good no matter what they put on every morning just inspired me to look good myself.

I welcome criticism. I come from a – I wouldn’t say mean, but you’ve got to have tough skin to be in my family.

I’m a huge fan of hot Cheetos. I used to eat them for breakfast.

I know where I wanna end up. I’m ready to go, and I’m ready to learn. I’m ready to build, and I’m ready to establish my longevity.

I get extensions, but when they start to get spotty, I go buy wispy lashes and cut them up. I put them where the gaps are when I don’t have time to get a fill.

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

I make music for people to relate to and to connect with me. I want to tap into different emotions.

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.

Every decision I make is a choice between a grievance and a miracle.

You get to decide what energy you choose to download in any moment. No one but you gets to decide who you wish to be.

But when a woman decides to sleep with a man, there is no wall she will not scale, no fortress she will not destroy, no moral consideration she will not ignore at its very root: there is no God worth worrying about.

The decision to go into debt alters the course and condition of your life. You no longer own it. You are owned.

We rob ourselves when we make decisions in the moment with no thought of how those decisions will impact our futures.

Maybe I made bad decisions, But I’m not a bad person.

Error often is to be preferred to indecision.

Every choice we make contains the energy of either faith or fear, and the outcome of every decision reflects to some extent that faith or fear. This dynamic of choice guarantees that we cannot run away from ourselves or our decisions.
