“If you can make it through the age of social media and come out with the same friends and lover, kudos!”

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”

People want everything quick and now. We live in the age of social media and hyper digital.

My friends are me and in essence better than me, they help me be better even when they don’t know it.

I get a kick out of making a strangers day.

I refuse to accept the idea that money is evil. People make things evil and negative.

All music now is influenced by Hip Hop. It’s so deeply ingrained in the culture.

Though my friends envied me because I always seemed so cheerful and confident, I was secretly terrified of practically everything.

The real test of one’s belief in the doctrine of Habeas Corpus is not when one demands its application on behalf of one’s friends but of one’s enemies.

The prestige you acquire by being able to tell your friends that you know famous men proves only that you are yourself of small account.

I have no friends here apart from the dudes at my record label, and I didn’t go to school with no one.

If I had to choose between betraying my country and betraying my friend, I hope I should have the guts to betray my country.

I want to have some stuff that I keep for myself, my friends, my family, my loved ones. That’s how I view.

We know our friends by their defects rather than by their merits.

As my great friend Aristotle said, ‘If you cannot command, you must learn to listen.’ I’m not the hierarchy here. I am a worker bee.
