Naya Rivera

Naya: (on her name) I don't know what culture it's from, but my mom saw it in on an episode of Fantasy Island. I have never seen the show, but I hear it's hysterical. She saw some water goddess who came out of the water, and her name was Naya, and she was like, 'I love that name.' She had a parrot and she named her parrot Naya, before she had me.

Naya: (on her personal style) Day to day I run around in moccasins, thermals and jeans. Super comfy is my style all around. I am definitely a jeans and t-shirt girl. I don't wear heels unless I have to.

Naya:(On volunteering for the Foothills of Aids Project) I was stoked because I haven't ever really had to start participating in charity events or giving back to the community. I feel like that is really important to do because I feel like I am so blessed with my job and my life right now that I would love to take time to bowl for a cause. I hope to raise money to help some other people that are in a really tough situation.
