What’s the first information you consume in the morning? Most of the time, it’s Twitter. It’s an easy way to get the news and know what’s going on in the world. There’s also this newsletter called theSkimm that I read. I love it because their headlines are so up to date with my generation [laughs], and it talks about really complicated subjects but in terms that I understand. And then after that, I’ll hit Instagram.

Who do you follow on Instagram? I love following plus-size models like Precious Lee, Ashley Graham and Tess Holliday. I also follow a lot of pages about fitness or detoxing and healthy eating because that’s kind of where I am right now with spring, summer coming [laughs]. I follow all my girls from Orange. And I love BeBeautifulLA, who posts beautiful pictures of black women showing off stretch marks or wearing full African garb or naked, but done tastefully. She also posts beautiful poems about loving yourself and your body.
