I'm A Really Big Believer In Self

I Don't Have The Luxury Of Not Going To Work When I Don't Feel Up To It. Most People Don't. On Those Days, I Acknowledge I Am Feeling F-cking Crappy, And I'm Not At My Best, And I Still Want To Or Need To Keep Walking Forward. I Have To Do Some Of My Best Work On My Worst Days. I Have To Look Pretty Even When I Don't Feel Pretty. There's A Way To Hold Both Things.

My Mom Would Leave Her Job, And There Would Be Throngs Of People Screaming And Banging On Our Car. I Come From A Very Private Family, But I Was Born Into A Public Family.

You Might Be Someone's Favorite, But You Might Not Be Someone Else's Favorite. I Will Tell You That There Was A [casting Notice] That Said "tracee Ellis Ross Type," But [the Producers] Didn't Want To See Me. I've Been In This Industry Long Enough To Know That Even If Someone Wants To Promise Me Something, It Doesn't Mean That It's Going To Happen. There Are So Many Things At Play. But It Was Flattering And Exciting.

As A Younger Person, My Philosophy Was Jump Off A Cliff. I Realize Now That There Are Stairs And Elevators. I Am Learning Every Day To Allow The Space Between Where I Am And Where I Want To Be To Inspire Me And Not Terrify Me. I Can Even Ask For Help! Not Feeling That I Have To Know Everything, And That’s Where The Growth Comes In, In The Not Knowing.

I'm A Really Big Believer In Self Care. One Of The Ways I Nourish My Soul Is I Eat The Way I Live My Life - Joyfully.
