In Vienna, when I was a year-and-a-half or two years-old. I remember it because I remember the little blue raincoat I used to wear, and how the buttons felt.

The Southern Baptist Church is a specific culture in itself. So, I had to study, talk to people, watch tape and go to performances to see how Gospel artists move compared to secular artists.
Boris Kodjoe

Boris Kodjoe
I was always interested in medicine and I was actually a pre-med major.
Boris Kodjoe
Sometimes in the black culture, being raised as an independent woman is misconstrued as someone who doesn't need a man. I think that's wrong. I think we all need someone.
Boris Kodjoe
I knew immediately that she was going to be in my life forever. I didn't know in what capacity, but I knew that I had found someone who was going to be close to me for a long time. We became great friends fast.
Boris Kodjoe
Yet I wanted to have children, and I knew that was my purpose, but I wasn't going to settle.
