Now I have a standard for how I make sure people do not speak to me in a way that I feel uncomfortable with. When I was younger, I didn't have that. I was like, 'Try not to make waves.' I wanted everybody to like me, and so I stifled a lot of the discomfort that I had.

I create videos for my YouTube channel Chescaleigh and for 'Decoded,' a series with MTV.

I left acting school really hoping that I could be on a television show of some sort, working in movies in Hollywood.

When I started in 2007, YouTube was just a fun hobby for others and myself.

My dream has always been to be in entertainment.

In many ways, being yourself is dispelling stereotypes.

Unfortunately, oftentimes people hire and give opportunities to people that look like them. They don't realize how much their own internal lives or privilege gets in the way of looking for people outside of the traditional spaces where they always find people.

'Decoded' is definitely close to my heart.

If I know you, and you want to touch my hair, you should ask me first, and most of the time I'll say yes. But if I don't know you, and you just reach out and touch me without asking or touch while simultaneously asking, I'm going to give you a side eye.

I can recall an instance where I was in a meeting at work giving a presentation in front of my board of directors. I was taking questions at the end and someone asks, 'Is that your hair real?' The man then reached out and started stroking my hair. It was completely bizarre to me.

I have been talking about social issues on YouTube for a long time now. I think it's very important in terms of being able to reach people around the world and people who have never been exposed to certain topics or are maybe misinformed about certain things.

I initially started making videos about my hair because I was struggling to style it and didn't know where to find help. Similarly, I started creating comedy content and doing characters and talking about things that were important to me because I didn't find a place to do that in the career that I wanted as an actress.

What's really great about social media is we have tremendous access, and there's a wealth of information about the people that we admire online.

I enjoy working out because I struggle with anxiety, and exercise has been a great way for me to combat that.

People feel really uncomfortable talking about race and identity, largely because the subject is so taboo.

I don't want to tell anybody who to vote for; I'd rather people just do their homework and make sure they vote for the person that they feel like is best to run our country.

Do not feed the trolls! Racist commenters usually troll the Internet looking for people of color to harass online. If you avoid responding, oftentimes they will get bored and move on.

People that are not happy in their offline life tend to turn to trolling to fill the void. Oftentimes, the people saying racist things do not even necessarily believe in what they are saying. They are just looking for attention they do not get in real life. When you keep that in mind, it is easier to avoid indulging those people all together.

For whatever reason, illiteracy continues to plague the racist troll community.

I think that the most important thing when it comes to achieving your dreams is just that you have to be realistic.

I think that everyone on the Internet has to deal with people saying negative things. It can be tough!

The people who know me know: I am a good guy with a big heart.

I am simply happy in Munich.

Bayen need quality, you have to invest and upgrade!

I just want to play for a competitive team that will offer me the best possible opportunity to win titles.

People would say: 'Look what he has on his face, look at his head. What is this scar? It's so ugly.' Wherever I went, people would look at me. And not because I was a good person or because my name is Franck or was a good footballer, but because of the scar.

I am very motivated, I always want to play.

We have to play as a team every game.

In Europe, Bayern is my last club - 100 per cent.

Football is my life, I love it.

When I'm on the pitch I always give everything for my team.

I want to win as many titles as possible with Bayern Munich.

When I arrived, Bayern were sitting at 14th place in the Bundesliga and weren't in the Champions League. Twelve years later, I left with 23 titles.

When the locker room needing shaking up, I did it. I remained myself, a leader, until the end.

Serie A is a great tournament with many excellent players.

People are so quick to say someone is a fantastic player and deserves to win the Ballon d'Or after just one good year. I disagree with that.

My eldest daughter Hiziya always makes fun of my German, and I laugh with her. I did not learn the language in school, but in my daily life, from other people.

It's true - ever since I was born, I've been through some tough situations. But that's what has given me the strength and the drive to succeed.

The scars in my face are the source of my strength.

I really like the mentality of the people in Munich.

It's important for me that I'm able to walk around the city without being bothered all the time.

I really want to lift the Champions League trophy one day.

I hope to continue playing until the age of 40, just like Francesco Totti.

I want to give something new to this club, I want to bring Fiorentina into the top three of the table.

I'll never cheat.

You know that I played football because of the fun and to enjoy it.

If you play well, then you make yourself a great name and the money comes on its own. You earn money for what you did.

I do not just play for money.

I have always given 100 per cent, power and performance.

When you've been Bayern for so long and it's your second home, moving away from here is not easy.
