The media personality expressed that Detroit had a lot to do with how she sees the world. She says Detroiters have a hustle and grind to them, but at the same time are humble. She also says the difficult and challenging times in Detroit served her well later in life, so when she did face adversities and struggles, she was able to stay calm amidst a lot of panic.

Hill also gave some tips for those chasing their dreams. She says you must realize what’s meant for you is for you, and that comparison is the theft of joy. She also expressed to not let anyone outwork you because there are a lot of things you cannot control, so focus on what you can control.
