MadameNoire: Going back briefly to your experience dealing with the negative comments some had about your breasts in the dress you wore to the BET Awards last year, you had such a great response to that on Twitter. How did it feel though to see the things people had to say about you and as a burgeoning actress and singer-songwriter, have many people introduced to you in this way?

Tanerélle: I don’t think there was anything anyone said that hurt my feelings during that time, I was more so in shock and blown away that people actually had the time in their day to say something mean. I kept thinking, out of everything you could be doing, you’re trying to hurt a stranger’s feelings…wild. However, sticking up for myself went viral internationally so for however few thousand people had something negative to say, even more were impacted in a positive way. A lot of people were definitely introduced to my art from that moment. I’m really grateful for that.
