“But I’ve realized that it’s time for me to show my audience that you don’t have to be perfect to achieve your dreams. Because nobody relates to being perfect. I’m ok with picking my nose. I’m ok with having bad dance moves. I’m ok with having horrible lower teeth. That’s what makes me me, and for some reason it’s worked out all right.” Parade Magazine

“I thought my skin wasn’t beautiful enough to wear shorts or open-toed shoes, but my idea of ‘beautiful enough’ came from not seeing enough representation of someone like myself, that would’ve been so powerful for me. I hope to offer all young women a sense of hope and change, that one type of look is not better than another. It’s ok to be different and seeing that is massive for a child.” People Magazine

“Even the people who you think have the most confidence can be terrified inside. Learn to believe and trust in yourself. Some of the nerdiest guys who were tormented in school are now tech billionaires!” People Magazine

“I grew up in a very abusive home. My mother could never show affection towards us. When I was young and I first was homeless my escape was always school. For me, from an early age, I knew that what was going to take me out of my homelessness was my education. I got a degree in sociology and with that I wanted to help people. I feel that’s my calling… that’s my purpose in life. I got hired at Covenant House and became a case manager. That’s a full-circle moment right there for me. I often have youth look at me and say, ‘you don’t know what it’s like to live herE.’ I look at them in the eye and tell them I slept in these hallways. I slept in those bunk beds and I made it to college and I made something of myself and now I’m here giving back to you guys. So… I do know.” Soul Sundays with Oprah

“The journey is self-acceptance and self-love. I believe everybody has this snapshot of themselves. It’s a snapshot that they kinda want to hide from the world. And mine was being like this 14-year old over weight kid kinda feeling ugly to the world wanting to fit in with this group of skateboarders. People are all just different but they hurt just as much. It was a liberating way to spend these last few years figuring out who I am as a person, how do you love yourself, and how do you be yourself and be the artist that you are with out apologizing for it” Late Night with Seth Myers

“Growing up, I had short, curly hair, and I envied everyone who had long, soft, silky, straight hair. But over the years I’ve been encouraged to embrace the reality of what makes me unique.” People Magazine

“I wish someone would have told me when I was 13 that my green hair and braces, and my freckles all over my face, and my attitude, it was all going to work for me one day. And my God, has it ever.” People Magazine

“Don’t compare yourself to others. When you feel that you’re not good enough, it’s easy to get confused and lose your way. Just do you. We’re all just trying the best we can.” People Magazine
