"People can be cruel, so you can either be cruel back, or you can be positive. That's what I choose. Or at least I try to! Because I think we, as human beings right now, are having a hard time. So to lighten the mood. I try to post positive messages, instead of negative things and hatred."

"Change is coming"

"because I really want it, the acting thing. Just have to push"

"The lack of racial diversity is a prevalent issue in modelling but I try to ignore it. If you talk about it and try to make it an issue, then it's still going to be there"

"I don't put money above happiness but it is important because it provides security, and part of the reason I am working so hard right now is to make money. I'm proud to be a 20-year-old who is financially secure"

"I think a lot of people my age don't see the racism, and if we can just carry on trying to do better for ourselves, then I think it will be fine."
