I don't have any beauty shop memories. I remember the barber shop.

A lot of people have no access to beauty. When I was growing up, my mother had only a few pretty things to look at.

In all my career, in my ups and downs, I've never had a beauty campaign. This was meaningful that at almost 41 years old, I could be getting my first beauty campaign. It made me feel really great.

I grew up in a family where we weren't allowed to talk about beauty or to put any emphasis on physical appearance.

I started the cosmetics in 1994 after I stopped modeling, out of my frustration as a woman of color not finding what I needed.

I will admit to hoarding beauty products. I'm a beauty lady.

I didn't grow up beautiful.

I always had a vision about beauty in general, so probably that's what really drove me into that direction of creating a makeup brand.

I made most of my living doing beauty, because I was never really the fashion person.
