“My greatest influence has and always will be my mother. I admire her strength, fearlessness, and optimism.”
“I like to get in tune with my self and really give myself the time to just be.”
“People look at me, for example, and think I have this perfect lavish life, that it's lit all the time, when that's not true at all.”
“I have a super deep passion for music, but no one would ever know that because it's not something I show to the public. But when I do do something music-related, it's very deep.”
“I do piano, violin, guitar, basketball, gymnastics, ballet.”
“My mother's music speaks to me as an oracle.”

“I like Solange, old pictures of Naomi Campbell, Grace Jones. I love Rihanna.”
“I think that opening up on Twitter helps people see that there are things that I deal with that they can relate to. Maybe it's not exactly the same as having a famous mom, but maybe their dad puts pressure on them to be a doctor, and they don't want to be a doctor.”
“I'm learning to stop being scared.”
“I think, a lot of times, the image that black women have in the media is quite negative.”

“Working with Kanye is really exciting and inspiring 'cause you get to see how he brings the fashion to life.”
