Being a black woman, there's so many different sides of us. We are funny, silly, romantic, professional, smart, and we have good jobs.

I feel like there is always a rumor that I'm dating someone that I never met before. People have their judgments and ideas of who I am, and they know nothing.

I'm a great mother because of my intentions on being a great mother I'm a good friend because I'm loyal I'm a good daughter because I've hopefully made my mother proud I'm a great human being because I accept that there's a spiritual being underneath it all. I've always been a woman of faith.

Is being single hard? It depends where your mind is. If you are focused, being single is an enjoyable experience, but if you hate being alone, you'll hate being single. I think it depends on the individual are where they are in life.

People should accept being single, because those are the moments you can really focus on yourself, and learning who you are. Then when you get in a relationship, you will be stronger and have a little bit more self-awareness, self-love, and the other ingredients for a healthy relationship.

The serenity prayer, 'God grant me the strength to accept...' That's a prayer that's actually in my car. I say it every day.
