“I acknowledge and appreciate that I am beautiful but it is not everything nor the only thing that I want attached to me. I am layered,” she told the publication. “…there has to be more. It (beauty) is a God-given gift, something I have never had to work for and should never be the only thing I lead with….I never chose to look like this – I am grateful I do – there is nothing wrong with being beautiful and owning it."
