"Who am I, you ask? I am made from all the people I've encountered & all the things I've experienced. Inside, I hold the laughter of my friends, the arguments with my parents, the chattering of young children & the warmth from kind strangers. Inside, there are stitchings from cracked hearts, bitter words from heated arguments, music that gets me through & emotions I cannot convey. I am made from all these people & moments. That is who I am."
i have decided to personally take on the mission of pushing more black girls/women embracing soft moments into the world (though i myself am not an artist)

“She got to moving and got to dancing and it was a fun energy. And the part where she stuck her tongue out - like if y’all could hear us screaming for her on set! [laughs] And one thing that people don’t know is that her left heel actually broke in the middle of that choreography and she kept going.”
