If there is one thing you could change about the world, what would it be?
"Gender and income inequality."
"I guess world peace sounds cheesy, just to feel safe in your own home."
"We need freedom of religion."

"In my culture overall, I think there are a lot of negative stereotypes that are attached to how blacks are perceived in hip hop and just in pop culture in general, but I think it actually just shows how much we value our culture and love it and we're not afraid to be ourselves."

"[My mom] is from mexico and she owns a boutique in Brownsville, Texas and she's pretty freakin' cool, she's so freakin' cool. I think the person that I am and all of my super crazy ideas and weird, cool open mind is all because of her."

What influences your style?
"YOLO"

“I feel like I want women to have a lot more power in the world. I would say I’m a feminist. [I want] women of color to have more of a strong standing in the world. [this would look like] women and men being on the same level - getting equal pay and for women to be able to walk down the street and not be afraid of men.”

"I really like men's shows. Oh my god, men's shoes are better than women's shoes - sneakers always! I love men's clothes. I don't really think it's important for clothes to be gender-specific."

What influences your style?
"I don't know, I just want to dress like this."

"Life's too short to be ignorant. I think that a lot of the things we go through as people, as a race, and as different cultures [are] because we don't take the time to understand. If we try to be more like-minded and try to understand, we'd be a lot further along. We can share, we can build, we can grow."

What is one thing you would change about the world? 
"More equal opportunities for women in the workforce."

“Everything [you] do matters in some sort of way. Your expression and energy contributes to a larger group of people. We’re always adding unto the community we’re already in and it’s best to give back as much as possible. Even if it’s just social. Something as simple as saying ‘hello’ or a smile. Just include yourself."

"My influence would be Lisa Bonet from 'The Cosby Show.' I love her style; she’s just so free."
"I'm just really into colors and I kind of like more boxy-fits. I like things that look a little bit more vintage."

"I like wearing old school t-shirts, ripped jeans, and heavy metal shirts. People always ask me, 'Are you really into this band?' Let's say if I wear an ACDC shirt, people are always surprised because not a lot of black women like this type of music."

"I’m half Mexican and there are a lot of misconceptions about Mexicans. If I had just one thing, it would be: stop stereotyping Mexicans as rapists. It puts a negative image in the minds of others who don’t even know and are just influenced by what they hear and just go off by what they hear."

If there is one thing you could share about your culture, what would it be? 
"Outspokenness."

“I am Ghanaian and West-African, and I really love the entire movement that’s going on right now about changing the narrative--that’s about embracing our art, our history, our achievements, and showing people who we’ve been and who we are now and how much we’ve succeeded.”
