I feel like I come from a smaller off shoot of black people because I am mixed. People say I'm African American but that doesn't include the other half of me.

I realize that I'm black, but I like to be viewed as a person, and this is everybody's wish.

There are so many people who have this idea of who I am because I'm black.

I'm short and curvy, but I think people want to work with me for reasons other than what I look like.

People are always so surprised when they meet me. Firstly, that I'm 'so tiny', and secondly that I'm 'so sweet'. They seem surprised that they're not scared of me.

People always like to make me seem taller than I am.

I think people are able to relate to my appearance. They think of me as the girl next door.

People always think I'm taller than I am - not just because of the shoes I wear but because of the way I dress. It's all relatively streamlined.

I'm very light, so some people don't really know that I'm black. I've been in situations where people will say something kind of racist, and I'll step in, and they'll be like, 'Oh, well, you're light.' That still doesn't cut it, buddy.
