My mother had taught me about the importance of finding a 'good provider,' so when my boyfriend proposed, I said 'yes' in a heartbeat. I was still just a kid, and I didn't know what was coming in life.

Growing up, my mother and grandparents often talked about our family's Native American heritage. As a kid, I never thought to ask them for documentation - what kid would?

When I first started talking about running for office, a lot of people said to me, 'Don't let the consultants change you,' and I'd always assured them that I wouldn't allow it to happen. But like it or not, I had to change. Not because of a consultant, but because I started to understand the cost of a stupid mistake.

Two months later at a party, Bernard pulled me into a closet and proposed. I said yes.

When Puffy asked me to do the video, I said yes. Cuz it's all about the Benjamins!

I went from 118 pounds to 135 pounds in a few months. But, I still didn't know anything about food.
