I'm a Disney fan. Like, seriously, if I see Mickey Mouse, I light up.
People appreciate a confident man. They love a strong man, and when it comes to a woman, I don't know if people just expect women not to speak up for themselves or be weak or just always be the follow-behind, but I'm proud that I'm in a generation of leaders. I'm proud that I'm surrounded by very strong women.
I've always believed in staying in a positive frame of mind and allowing God to work and move. It's about having patience.
I still do believe in carrying yourself a certain way, and I do my best to be somewhat of a role model. I'm not a perfect person. I'm a human being. I'm not the Lord, but I do accept that responsibility, and that's why I do try to carry myself with confidence, with poise, with grace, and with class.
A lot of time, mothers put their kids first, their selves aside, and then there's some moms who are like, 'Look, I'm going to try and balance it all out and still have my personal life.'
Especially for my first album, I struggled with even the thought of being a solo artist.
I love Instagram and Twitter, and I think it's awesome that fans can connect with their favorite artists, but it also gives them a chance in that comment box to say what they really feel about them.
I want somebody else to say, 'Man, that 'Back 2 Life' album got me through. There were songs that really empowered me to get out of my safe zone or to leave that abusive relationship or made me feel confident.'
Excellence is not a single act. You are what you repeatedly do.
I'm definitely a hopeless romantic.
I can sometimes work out three times a day. I love hot yoga. I enjoy it.
Music has healed me on so many different occasions, and I want my music to be able to do that for someone else.
I like to eat a whole lot. I have an inner chubby girl, and her name is Mabel, and I feed Mabel a lot. I give her what she wants. If Mabel wants a honey bun, she gets it. If Mabel wants Krispy Kreme, she gets it. If Mabel wants fried chicken or ham hocks, she gets what she wants.
I can't fight for no man because that means I'm fighting for your uncertainty about me and our relationship, so what kind of sense does that make? Honey, there are too many men in this world, and there's bound to be one who's truly checking for me.
I only serve one God, and I'm only judged by one God.
I think, a lot of times, we find ourselves in a relationship where we are on two different pages.
Pincurling is my secret! I wear my hair wavy alot, and so I don't have to use all that excess heat every day trying to curl it; I just pincurl it.
I created my own little online series, 'Love, Life & Music,' years ago, before reality TV got poppin'. I wanted my fans to see that I wasn't just here sitting on my hands. I'm out here every day, grinding and working.
Being an actress and a singer, you get more 'nos' than you get 'yes.' You get more rejection than you do anything else.
I worked two jobs when I got pregnant. I was doing 'Greenleaf' on weekdays and doing 'Set It Off,' the play, on weekends.
