Fashion is a strange world sometimes. Amazing, but strange.
I'd rather live in the U.S. than Europe.
I'd rather be on the cast of 'Love & Hip-Hop' than 'Project Runway.'
I'd rather be the cool aunt than the authoritative aunt.
I'd rather be the protector than the protected. I'm naturally the protector - being a mother and having a famous family. You have to navigate when it's right to protect.
I don't ever claim to be a hip-hop head.
My earliest love, which was sort of an obsession, actually, was Nas. I was in seventh grade, I believe, when 'Nastradamus' was out, and I took it pretty far.
For me, I always have looked at 'indie' as a term of 'independence.' Never associated a sonic gesture with that in the same way that pop music has always meant 'popular' to me; you know, it didn't define a sound.
Anytime fashion and music go hand-in-hand and it really is an organic fit, it's amazing.
I can't take any credit for people dressing like me, you know?
If I have on a bright red lip, you'll rarely ever catch me with eyeshadow on. It's one or the other for me - pick one feature for the day and really focus on that.
From a very early age, I decided that I wanted to be able to do my music but still be able to live a normal life.
It's always been my dream to look like Mariah Carey in my photos with a microphone. I don't know how she does it. When she sings, she looks perfect.
My blog is actually all self-photography unless it's a photo shoot.
I think many people, especially from other cultures, just don't understand the role hair plays in black women's lives.
I stand for people who are firm in their journey.
I'm such a Southern girl.
What's important is that my family and I are all good.
I'm not sure if it's cause I'm getting old, but my heels have to be 3.5 inch or less, or a chunky heel.
I was diagnosed with ADHD twice. I didn't believe the first doctor who told me, and I had a whole theory that ADHD was just something they invented to make you pay for medicine, but then the second doctor told me I had it.
