The thing about having an amazing stylist - it's not about who is better: it's more so about your body type finding amazing pieces, but also, setting the tone for what people believe is your life. It's like the editing of a movie or the color-correcting of a photo.
I grew up with a lot of karaoke and dancing and good movies.
I don't think people realize why weaves and the cultural appropriation of black hairstyles are so sensitive. It's deep-rooted. For me, it goes back to high school: I wanted to have the long, flowing hair. So I got a weave. But then I didn't want guys to put their fingers in it - you don't want them to feel your weave.
When you're a fan of someone, and they know your name, you're like, 'Oh my God!'

Do I want to make a drama? What do I need? Am I in the right headspace to do this role? And then politics come into consideration, too.
Life choices and projects and photo shoots, I can't base them on anybody else but myself. I've done things where I'm like, "Do I want my dad to see this? I don't know!" But the best lesson I can teach my sisters, or any younger women, is "Do what YOU do. Don't follow me, follow you."
