I'm Convinced That We Black Women Possess

By Age Seven, I Used To Comb My Hair For Performances, Just Pull My Hair Up Into A Bun. Granted, It Wasn't A Very Intricate Hairstyle. Still, To Be That Responsible And Disciplined At Age Seven Is Unusual.

I Enjoy Them Both [singing And Acting] A Great Deal. I Have A Passion For Both. Maybe Acting Just A Little Bit More Because It's More Of A Challenge For Me, While Music Comes So Easily.

Big Sisters And Brothers... I Am Telling You, It Never Changes.

I Can Be Happy With Who I Am, Not What I Should Be, Or What I Might Have Been, Or What Someone Tells Me I Must Be.

I'll Meet A Guy Now, And The Next Thing I Know They'll Be Sweating And Their Hands Will Be Shaking. And I Feel So Bad - I Don't Even Know What To Say To Them. Then There Are Other Guys Who Come On Too Strong, And They're Just All Over You. The Nice Ones Are The Ones Who Are In-between - The Ones Who Aren't Scared And Who Aren't All Over You.
