00:00I feel every woman has a savage inside of them.
00:03Whether they found it or not, it's there.
00:19Confidence can make anyone sexy.
00:21If you rock who you are and own that walking into a room,
00:24there's nothing cooler than that.
00:31Barbadians are proud people, you know?
00:34We are probably the proudest people I know.
00:38And no matter where I go in the world, I take that pride with me.
00:52I always said before, by 18, by the time I'm 18,
00:56I want to be a singer. If not, forget it.
01:27It was the longest 12 hours of my life.
01:29I was just waiting downstairs and I was like,
01:31get the contract on here, I want to sing, I want to sing.
01:51Such a great album, it has such a way for it to get tight songs
01:54and tempos that are going to be played.
01:56The tempos, the ballads, the old school lovers rock reggae.
02:00It's a great album.
02:24Everything I knew switched, switched in a night.
02:52It was hard for me to even pay attention to my mind
02:56and figuring things out because now it became a circus.
03:17The first day in, I was already shooting a scene,
03:20saying lines that were never a part of the script.
03:23So I didn't have a chance to really even get past the nerves.
03:26It was just right in and in that way, it was incredible.
03:43If they're famous and I'm single,
03:47it's an automatic, automatic, they're on, they're dating.
03:53And I hate that. I don't even want to date. I'm single.
03:57Nobody's exempt from disease and poverty.
04:16And, you know, you just never know.
04:19But we will fight for you the same way.
04:28I've always known about the void within the makeup industry for women of color.
04:46It's 2017. No woman should ever walk up to a makeup counter and not find their shade.
04:57My mission is just to have women all over the world feel comfortable and sexy
05:07and have fun with lingerie.
05:09All the different body types, all the different women
05:11and different stages of their womanhood.
05:27I want black women to look at every achievement that I've made as hope,
05:41as a place that they can see, a template where they can see themselves.
05:49So when we're marching and protesting and posting, tell your friends to pull up.
05:57We have used and abused our natural environment.
06:18And climate change needs to be at the forefront of our minds and our mission.
06:24Because we are not going to survive without this planet.
06:28The time for real, meaningful, revolutionary action is now.
06:54When is your next album going to come out?
06:56Everyone wants to know.
06:59Pending.
07:00Hide from the Navy.
07:14I'm a black woman.
07:15I come from a black woman who came from a black woman.
07:18I'm going to give birth to a black woman.
07:19We're impeccable.
07:20We're special.
07:21And the world is going to have to deal with that.
07:44Dude, Rihanna, we've waited for you.
07:46It's been over six years.
07:48Rih, Rih, where have you been?
