I am truly a person who believes in energy and vibes.
I do think I can change the perception of the 'Bachelorette.' And not just because of my race.
All mornings should start with a cup of coffee and a good message from Chris Harrison.
I'm very excited to be partnering with Vaseline because I've been a fan for years. It's products I grew up with - my mom always used them on us - and now, I use it all, from the petroleum jelly to the lip gloss and lotion.
My skepticism doesn't come from no one. There's a root to it, and it's my family.
I feel very indebted to my job. I support the loyalty that they've given me - it's very rare, especially in my profession, that you find people who are not just supportive of who you are as a person, but supportive of you finding love and your happiness.
I just wear like a powder, like a Bare Minerals, maybe some Nars, like a bronzer or blush, light gloss for my lips. That's pretty much it. Mascara.
You cannot reason with delusion.
I'm just like, 'Give me all the babies. If we can't have them, we're adopting.'
I'm so humbled and honored to be chosen to represent myself as a black woman to America, and I look at it as such a positive. That's what made me move forward and want to embrace being the first black Bachelorette.
I learned it is important to be confident in what you have and drown out all of the outside noise. You can't be distracted by what everyone else is doing and how they are doing it.
Life is hard so why does my relationship have to be hard at the same time?
I like when a guy wears ripped jeans, has a loose-fitting V-neck top and has a pair of kicks. You can't go wrong with a suit either.
I had seen my dad overcome and work hard for the things that he has, and I hear the stories about the injustices that he faced.
When you're putting out something that is very whitewashed and doesn't have any type of color in it and you're not trying to be effective and change that... I think that they have to at this point, give us a black Bachelor for season 25. I don't know how you don't.
I'm looking for the man I cannot imagine a day without him being in my life.
I'm looking for the unexplainable connection and spark - real, true love.
My friends mean everything to me, so if you want to me be my lover then you have to get along with my friends!
Whether you say I'm too black, I'm not black enough, this is me. I hope people realize that my journey to love doesn't have to be any different just because my skin is.
My dad is a judge, but he started off as an attorney. He is one of my biggest role models; both of my parents are. So, from a young age, I said I wanted to be an attorney.
