I have always believed my phone usage wasn't an issue—it's part of my job!

Fast fashion was once the backbone of my personal style.

“Therapy is like playing the long game— most mental health issues are not quick fixes. “

I was more focused on “being” instead of “doing.”

“I was preparing for a shoot, and her friend called me, and she said, ‘Your mom is unconscious.’”

Let's be real: the human experience is weird, confusing, and beautiful, and none of us have any absolute control over our life's path.

Not only are they beauty creators and trendsetters, but they are business women who are trying to chart a new path forward to challenge what typical beauty and success look like.

Packing to be away from home for months at a time is not easy. It's my least favorite part of my attempts to cross two continents.

I didn't really know much about Lanserhof, but it seemed like the kind of place that would have a Goop-stamp of approval.

“It's extraordinarily uncomfortable to have something out of alignment that I'm trying to put out in the world or tell people that this is what I believe would be helpful for them. So it had to change.”

Much of my life and existence revolves around my career, so there's always this pressure to be evolving and leveling up.

“After a couple of months, I was like, ‘This is terrible. I never want to be a businesswoman.’”

“I think that what's really important about growing up as the ‘Token Black Girl’ is I really did have a lot of close relationships with white people where I really did believe they loved me. I really did trust them.”

Nothing about my decision to leave that job was easy. I loved that job, it was all I ever thought I wanted.

Undoubtedly, the most impactful thing about this year was my time living abroad.

Of course, it's always fun to incorporate a few trendy pieces—but at the end of the day, I'd much rather have a wardrobe that makes me feel like myself.

I always like to say it's good to take the training wheels off and make sure you can still find your balance in the real world.

“I don't have panic attacks. I don't have shaky hands. I don't sleep for 25 hours. All these things that we say is anxiety. Then I learned as I got older that I have high-functioning anxiety.”

I've actually been toying with the idea of moving to London since 2019.

You can make friends at any age, I promise!
