Tell us a secret about Pharrell.
"He’s awkward. And black. And super humble. And the best."

In the very first episode of ABG, we can't get over that J's boyfriend dumps her for cutting her hair super short (um, ow!). What's your philosophy on your hair and how you style it?
"Cutting my hair is the best thing I’ve ever done in my life. My boyfriend was so mad when I cut it, but I have never felt so free in my life. Hair is SUCH a big deal and, in the black community especially, hair length is major. So, to be like, 'Eff all that,' and just get rid of it all was so liberating for me."
