We performed at the VMAs, which is crazy because we grew up watching that show and all of our inspirations and idols were there.

I put my all into performing so people can walk away knowing a bit more about me and feel the passion in my story.
Together, we can put an end to the hate and promote only positivity and love.
Unfortunately, there is a lot of abuse and negativity online.
I think that it's just about balance, keeping myself centered, and being happy and healthy.
My mom was actually diagnosed with breast cancer when I was five.
Fifth Harmony is its own entity.
Being a woman of color, I can truthfully state that I don't feel safe around those who are sworn to honor and uphold the law.
I love how full my lips are.
Destiny's Child I grew up on hard core. Like, I can't tell you how much I love the three of them so much and what they had to offer.

The only person holding you back is you.
I have so much in me that people don't even know, and I can't wait to offer it to them.
I was inspired by Solange's album, 'A Seat At The Table,' from the moment that I heard it. She has clearly taken the time to create a unique body of work and emote through her music from a true place.
I remember being young in the backseat when my grandma would take me to school, and I would be literally singing and belting out Tina Turner at 3 years old.
I think that a lot of the time, we get in our own heads and make up what other people are thinking, but no one actually cares about the thing you think they care about. You just gotta take that weight off your shoulders and be nice to yourself and be yourself. People will fall in love with who that is.
Knowing that you're not alone really does make all the difference in the world.
I love Alicia Keys, Chris Brown, Usher, Mariah Carey... all that stuff.
When I dance, I escape the present and become one with my soul.
It's important to stand up to all forms of bullying, and it's even more important for those who are around you to be just as courageous and stand with you!
It is a great day anytime I can bring a smile to a girl or boy, knowing that I am helping to inspire them to always dream big.
Ever since I was little, I looked up to Destiny's Child so much; I looked up to the Spice Girls and En Vogue. A piece of me wanted to be in a girl group.
I was that kid that did dance, singing, pageants. I did everything pretty much across the board, so it was kind of an adjustment solely doing music.
If we always stay true to ourselves, people will always see that.
I love how confident she is, plus we also come from the same hometown, Houston, Texas. Her name is Beyonce Knowles. I love her so, so, so much. I love how hard she works.
I feel I'm most beautiful when I have less makeup on and I'm at home with people surrounding me that support me, and I know they will never judge me or try to change me.
I love Aaliyah, I love Brandy, I love Monica.
One thing I look forward to is seeing new places and new people.
It's really important to look at yourself in the mirror and have a conversation. Tell yourself you're beautiful every single day. Even if you're not feeling that great in an outfit, but you like how your hair looks, focus on that.
I kind of have to take pieces of myself to fit what it is that radio wants.
There's always room for growth. I feel like I'll never get to the point where I'm 100 percent happy with where I am with my career.
I'm originally from New Orleans, Louisiana, and I just feel like it's something that always been inside of me.
Honestly, you cannot go wrong with being yourself.
You can't allow someone's hate to dictate your life.
I used to be really nervous to perform in front of people. I would cry.
Dancing is more than just moving body parts; it is a pathway of expressing your deepest inner thoughts.
No one has the right to make where you go or what you do uncomfortable.
I am so honored to be working with A Place Called Home as their ambassador to bring awareness to the incredible services and programs which benefits kids in the Los Angeles community.
I love apple sauce. I have an addiction - I don't know what it is, but I just love the texture of it. It reminds me of baby food. Not that I like to eat baby food.
I started off in dance. That was actually my first passion, which introduced me to music, which people don't really know.
I shouldn't have to worry any time my father walks outside the front door of our home.
I know you can do anything you put your mind to and the exterior doesn't matter.
After Fifth Harmony succeeds to the fullest of its capacity, one day we can go off and do our individual things.
I really love scary movies, so I'm all about Halloween.
What I normally do before going on stage is pray - normally we do a group prayer with the crew or whoever is around, like our security guard, our tour manager and whoever else is back there and wants to pray with us.
I hate the fact that people can judge based on something that isn't fully given to them. Like, this isn't the full product.
I've been through so much, especially coming from New Orleans where there was Hurricane Katrina in 2005. I had to pick up. We had to move, make new friends, and I think my family was just strong for me as well because we had to start completely over again.
I could never repay my parents for always pushing me and believing in me as much as they did.
It's all about believing in yourself and knowing your worth and being optimistic and really just loving yourself for who you are.
For me, beauty really does come from within, and that may sound cliche, but it's true.
