One of my dreams is to walk down the runway during Fashion Week!
It is important in this journey to remember that just because someone has inflicted hurt upon us, it does not give us the right to do the same. Body shaming and hurtful tactics will never get the job done.
A, surround yourself by positive people who will help you reach your goal and support you. And B, go for it!
To me, America is a symbol of all different views, different types of people coming together.
I have a really strong passion for what I do. I don’t see myself doing anything else.
I was actually supposed to be a basketball player, not an actress. My parents had me playing basketball on competitive teams when I was in kindergarten. Even though my heart belongs to the arts, I’m a tomboy at heart, too.
There are so many great things in life; why dwell on negativity?
My wearing my hair in locs on an Oscar red carpet was to showcase them in a positive light, to remind people of color that our hair is good enough.
Shake It Up definitely teaches kids about the importance of reaching for your dreams and setting high goals. It also teaches great lessons about friendship and family.
I just see me, an ordinary girl. I know my life is not typical, but I have tried to stay really grounded and true to myself. My family really helps me with that.
To me locs are a symbol of strength and beauty.
I love seeing young people take a stance and not be afraid to say how they feel, and protest when they feel things are wrong or unjust.
The secret to a really great friendship is just creating fun memories whenever you’re with that person.
I couldn’t choose between all of those things! I looooove acting and dancing on Shake It Up, and I am currently in the recording studio working on my music. And one of my dreams is to walk down the runway during fashion week!
Chanel all the way! Just because not only do they have timeless pieces, but since it is the epitome of class and elegance.
I am really good at making Top Ramen. I also love it when my mom makes vegetarian lasagna for me.
I always have my own music on my iPod, especially songs that I am going to record. Besides that, I have lots of others ranging from Chris Brown to Beyonce’, Michael Jackson, Rascal Flatts and Adele.
I am scared of spiders! And I still get a little afraid every time I have to do something new or have to get out in front of a big crowd. The first time I sang “Swag It Out” live, I was really scared.
Well, I would say that Shake It Up was a chance for me to do two things I really love: acting and dancing.
Money does not make you look expensive, it’s taste.
