Quotes

“P-Valley is more than just acting. We’re putting on a full Broadway-like production: There’s singing, dancing, rapping, and full-on musical numbers, so a lot goes into that. However, as soon as I booked the part, I went into stripper boot camp.”

“I like to do guided meditation for ten minutes, and I try to do that every morning. I’d probably light some candles, sage, and palo santo while manifesting what I want for the day or future.”

“I’ve been on a journey to be a better version of myself lately. I want to be the love I wish to receive and be an all-around better person. It’s a common theme in my chats with my girlfriends—we all just want to be what we want to attract, you know?”

“You are what you eat. Skincare really starts from within. It sounds so cheesy, but it’s true. Once you start eating cleaner—eating fruits, vegetables, and real whole foods—it does wonders for your skin.”

“I have always thought Diana Ross is just absolutely stunning, ever since I was a little girl. I have a black-and-white photo of her in my bedroom.”

“Diet helps a lot with my skin. Staying away from dairy really helped with those hormonal breakouts around the chin and jawline.”

“One of the biggest things I learned from being on this set about womanhood is how beautiful and empowering it is to own your sexuality and how it’s okay to be sexy.”

“I’m just so proud to be Black. We are so gifted and we excel in everything that we put our minds to. It was really wonderful to be on a set with mostly a Black crew.”
