- Born on July 1, 2003 in Atlanta, Georgia.
- Friends with Marsai Martin.
- She is of African-American heritage, but is naturally lighter-skinned.
- We just have to get over the fact that, yes, people are not going to be the same. They're not going to look the same, they're not going to have the same opinions because we're all unique.
- My mom - she doesn't care if I stop acting tomorrow; she just wants the best for me.
- I would want to go back to the civil rights movement and see how that was. With the information and knowledge I have about it now, I would want to see how I would deal with it.
- If you want to be an actress or an astronaut or a doctor or anything in between, I just want to let kids know - and especially kids that look like me know - that you can do it. Even though you're not seen, you can make yourself seen.
- I just want people to be inspired - not only young girls but young people in general - and I just want them to know they can do anything they want to do, and they are beautiful, and they are smart.
