In my household growing up in Fayetteville, N.C., music was the great communicator between my parents and me.

Theater's literally where I started.

I think that Atlanta has this huge well of black culture and openness to share all the things that we have made there.

Atlanta's a great city to cultivate your own thing - from fashion to music to food.

I was in show choir in high school.

Being in a club - clubs are, like, not my favorite thing.
