Best advice ever received: “If you’re not happy, then get happy.”

Scariest experience: when my older brother was in a coma for 11 days and the doctors told my mom he would be in a vegetative state for life, and she should consider stopping the life support. She prayed about it, and the next day he woke up and if you see him today you would never guess that was him 14 years ago.

If I had a million dollars I would … feed, clothe and vaccine more kids at our family-owned orphanage in Haiti.

Favorite place to shop: Target

Words that describe me best: blessed, grateful, intelligent and likeable…

I like to watch: Everybody Hates Chris, Wheel of Fortune and The First 48
