"People can be cruel, so you can either be cruel back, or you can be positive. Thats what I choose. Or at least I try to! Because I think we, as human beings right now, are having a hard time. So to lighten the mood. I try to post positive messages, instead of negative things and hatred."
"The lack of racial diversity is a prevalent issue in modelling but I try to ignore it. If you talk about it and try to make it an issue, then its still going to be there"
"I think a lot of people my age dont see the racism, and if we can just carry on trying to do better for ourselves, then I think it will be fine."
"because I really want it, the acting thing. Just have to push"
"I dont put money above happiness but it is important because it provides security, and part of the reason I am working so hard right now is to make money. Im proud to be a 20-year-old who is financially secure"
