Letitia Dean's Quotes

• I'm not a size 8, I'd love to be but never will be. I just try to be healthy and focus on that instead. You don't have to be skinny to be attractive.
• I always knew I'd come into my own in my 30s. I found my 20s a bit perplexing because it's that transition between being a teenager and an adult and you're still trying to find yourself. This decade is a good age for a woman.
