“I’m unapologetic for who I am, where I’m from, and what I believe.”

I’ve been on the cover of InStyle twice. The first time was in 2015, after the birth of my first child, Isabelle. I remember nursing at the photo shoot, so I would take breaks to breastfeed or to pump. Having this life when this little tiny human being needed me for everything was crazy. I was really flying by the seat of my pants at the time, relying on friends who were working moms. Leaning into the support of other women was vital to me in that window. It was all new territory.

I’m still very much a student in different parts of my life—parenting, acting, producing. Fashion too. I think having a little girl who’s so drawn to pink and sparkle has sort of opened me up to my inner pink and sparkle, but early on in my career I wasn’t really all that into it. I remember calling Tracee Ellis Ross and saying, “Help! I know that you were born into a glorious walk-in closet. How do I do this?”
