When you get a jean for a larger girl, you have to have them tailored for you. Tailoring is indeed everything.

Everything starts with writing. I heard Nikki Giovanni and was blown away. I just thought 'wow'; she was writing from a black girl's perspective, and the imagery was so vivid that I started doing spoken word.

A lot of the girls I grew up with were pregnant by the time they were 16. I just was lucky.

Seriously, in America there are more big, curvy girls than there are little girls, and men love us, too.

I'm a girl who enjoys a great meal with great friends, so I'm not really that concerned about weight loss.
