Do not feed the trolls! Racist commenters usually troll the Internet looking for people of color to harass online. If you avoid responding, oftentimes they will get bored and move on.
It took me years to realize that 'normal' is actually super boring and that being myself was harder but infinitely more rewarding.
Social media, unfortunately, just makes it a lot easier to be jealous. It sets up false expectations of reality, so it's really easy to look at someone else's life online and assume that they have everything going great for them and that their life is perfect.
I enjoy working out because I struggle with anxiety, and exercise has been a great way for me to combat that.
I initially started making videos about my hair because I was struggling to style it and didn't know where to find help. Similarly, I started creating comedy content and doing characters and talking about things that were important to me because I didn't find a place to do that in the career that I wanted as an actress.
I'm somewhat wary of being called 'woke' because it feels absolute in a way that I don't think is realistic.
I think the beauty of the Internet is that it's giving a lot of people the opportunity to reach people around the world that they never would have been able to, and for people to tell their own stories where they don't see themselves reflected in mainstream media, or the media is misrepresenting the truth, right.
People feel like using the word 'joke' removes responsibility for the hurt their words may cause. It doesn't; in fact, it may make things worse.
I think that the most important thing when it comes to achieving your dreams is just that you have to be realistic.
I love Uniqlo for all the staples, but what I really love are the palazzo pants. They are just so flattering.
