Don Cornelius gave me an incredulous look regarding my accent. I lessened it; he gave a nod of approval. Instantly, I felt ashamed. I had made my first conscious effort not to sound ethnic.
I have great hair because I take a lot of vitamins.
People make me out to be this super strong woman, but I have my tough days just like anyone else.
The racism, the sexism, I never let it be my problem. It's their problem. If I see a door comin' my way, I'm knockin' it down. And if I can't knock down the door, I'm sliding through the window. I'll never let it stop me from what I wanna do.
At home, I'm the silliest cornball who talks way too much and wants to be quiet and left alone at the same time.
I don't call myself Latin, I call myself Puerto Rican.
