I believe your reality is what you make it, what you choose to see, and what you choose to allow yourself to do. There are possibilities all around you - magic all around you - no matter what situation you're in.

Don't depend on a guy for your happiness. You have to live your own life and do your own thing. That's when good things come around - when you do your own thing and you're not worried about a man. It will happen in due time.

I don't belong to anyone else but myself. I have to make my own decisions. Happiness is defined by me.

You can do anything as long as you don't stop believing. When it is meant to be, it will be. You just have to follow your heart.

I think people should have fun. And don't get so down on yourself. Enjoy life and be the best person you can be.

I don't wish for anything. Wishing for a million dollars feels greedy. I just wish for the best for me.

Just do you. Go with the flow and with your life because that's you experiencing life. You being yourself is you doing your purpose, so the more we get out of the mindset of thinking there's a certain way to go about things, the more free we become.

When I was a kid, people people would always say, 'Oh you look like Chilli from TLC.' It wasn't until I did 'Akeelah and the Bee' that people started saying I looked like Angela Bassett, but before then it was Chilli.

We need to stop separating ourselves by how dark or how light we are.
