· 5 pulledBeyoncé's best advice to me was to always stay true to myself and never let anyone dim my light.
The backlash to my casting in 'The Little Mermaid' was hurtful, but it also showed me how much representation matters.
Working on 'Strung' was a challenge because it's such a different role from anything I've done before.
Chloe x Halle will always be a part of me — we're sisters first, and music will always bring us back together.
Surviving child stardom means learning to protect your peace and knowing who you are outside of the spotlight.
