It's heavy, but I am able to carry it. Why? Because I'm an African woman. An African woman carries heavy loads anyway. That's how we are trained; we are brought up that nothing is unbearable. I use that now, positively. I use that now to have the thick skin that I have, and not fear, and move forward, and push; and push forward.

I pack on mass quickly when I lift.

Whatever muscles I have are the product of my own hard work and nothing else.

Everyone has a 'risk muscle.' You keep it in shape by trying new things. If you don't, it atrophies. Make a point of using it at least once a day.

I work out a lot.

I'm very hard on my bags because I tend to carry a lot of stuff with me.

It's so rare to get all of your muscles firing at once. That's what I look for in any role.

The thing I like about my body is that it's strong. I can move furniture around my apartment. I can ride my horse... I can play basketball. It's a well functioning machine.
