I think that the most important thing when it comes to achieving your dreams is just that you have to be realistic.

My dream has always been to be in entertainment.

Black women are so very often stereotyped in pop culture.

Unfortunately, oftentimes people hire and give opportunities to people that look like them. They don't realize how much their own internal lives or privilege gets in the way of looking for people outside of the traditional spaces where they always find people.

I initially started making videos about my hair because I was struggling to style it and didn't know where to find help. Similarly, I started creating comedy content and doing characters and talking about things that were important to me because I didn't find a place to do that in the career that I wanted as an actress.

For me, YouTube was about creating content because I had an interest in beauty and comedy and wanted to find a way to mix those two things, and I could do it from my home, own my own time.

In reality, there are tons of unrepresented voices that we don't see in comedy.

Sounds cliched, but I can't survive without my calendar.

I think that if you stay positive and remain positive, you can definitely achieve the things you set out to.

My undergrad degree was in graphic design, and I don't work in that anymore, but I obviously do a lot of design and editing and Photoshopping, and the Adobe Creative Cloud is essential!

For whatever reason, illiteracy continues to plague the racist troll community.

Stop playing the victim.' - unless you've been cast in a community theater production of 'Law & Order: SVU,' I'm not sure why anyone would choose to play victim.
