I'm not bleaching my skin, and if I was bleaching my skin and I felt like saying so, I would, but for the record, I am not.

Please don't erase my race because I'm white-passing. There is literally nothing I can do about my complexion.

For me, you don't ever want to be defined by the color of your skin. You want to be defined by your work ethic, the person that you are, your character, your personality. That's what I've tried to go out and do.

The less I talk about being black, the better.

I cannot imagine what it must feel like to be treated differently because of the color of my skin.

I can't have brown hair for some reason. I don't think it goes with my skin tone. The second I see it turn brown in the sun, I dye it black - the blacker the better.

My hair is too fine to bleach. I get so much breakage, it's not worth it to dye it.

I'm light skinned, and I used to lean on that because that's something a lot of black people pride themselves on, and it's weird.

I knew exactly what I was, and there was no hang-up with me. None whatsoever. The fact that the pigment of my skin maybe being lighter brown than other people of my race, maybe some of them, but you know our race has all colors.

I do not believe that the colour of one's skin determines whether you are disadvantaged.
