What is the best beauty advice your mom ever gave you?
Don’t apologize for who you are. If you’re like a shrinking violet and you’re apologizing or trying to hide yourself because you don’t feel like you’re someone’s idea of perfection, then that’s the message you’re going to put out to the world. And when you put out confidence and self-love, that’s the important message. That’s what my mom taught me.
Fill in the blank. I love my hair…
I love when my hair when it’s not frizzy. The best thing for me to do is wash it at night, put a little bit of root lift in, maybe a little smoother on the ends, and then pile it all on the pillow and let it dry that way. And when I wake up, it’s kind of wavy-curly and it has some lift. And then when I’m working with a hairdresser, I always say blow it out so it’s smooth and bouncy, and when I use hair spray, I spray it under each piece of hair instead of at the top.

What’s the best beauty advice you’ve ever heard?
My mother used to say the only thing you can be the best at is being yourself. And too often we look at others or the image that is created and the expectation we’re expected to live up to, which I feel is a huge misdirection and misconception because the only way you can be the best is when you’re yourself.
