2. She Dances

Leray has addressed her struggles with anxiety and depression in interviews. In February, she tweeted two words, "brain dead," adding that she needed a break. “To all my trendsetters, I’m sorry I let you down. I don’t have it in me to keep pushing. I feel like I’m brain dead. I pray that everyone continues to keep setting trends and striving. Don’t know when I’ll be back but I don’t even want to think about it. I love you for life. -coi.” The tweet has since been deleted.
5. She Promotes Self-Love
“It feels like the internet — with all the kids and everyone’s opinions — paints a picture in people’s heads of how things are supposed to be. Understanding that is what helps me keep going because the internet is going to be the internet,” she recently said during an interview with Paper. “Who’s anyone to say someone is ugly? And I know we all call people ugly and stupid and stuff like that. We all say it. But who’s to really identify what ugly is? No one can really identify what is ugly unless it’s within your attitude and how you treat people. So to me it don’t matter how you look or who’s the cutest. Everyone’s beautiful. Helping young women understand that just by being myself and not having to do nothing more or nothing less or prove myself to anybody, shows them that all you have to do is love yourself.”
6. Health Is Her Top Priority

Coi believes that everyone should do what they want in regard to plastic surgery, as long as they take care of themselves. “Life is all about being comfortable and feeling good. So whatever makes you feel good, do that. My advice is just make sure you’re safe and healthy. Health is the number one priority before anything. Other than that, live your life,” she told Paper.
7. She Likes Sugary Drinks and Alcohol

Coi revealed everything on her rider to Paper. “I always have Casamigos, definitely Reposado and Blanco, just in case somebody doesn’t drink clear because not everyone likes clear,” she said. “I like cranberry juice, apple juice — Martinelli’s to be specific. We get Sprite, but they always bring grenadine, so we make Shirley Temples. Fruit, lighters, roll-ups, chargers, cream soda,” she said about the drinks and eats she needs before a show.
