Julissa Bermudez’s career is a testament that hard work surely does pay. From a popular replacement of Free from “106th & Park” to living it up in the Big Apple alongside Adrienne Bailon on “Empire Girls: Julissa & Adrienne,” Julissa’s climb to the top is a graceful one.

As a part of the ever-growing entity that is reality TV, the Dominican beauty is a breath of fresh air. She and her counterpart, Adrienne Bailon are never hair-pulling or name-calling. Every week, you can see them living their lives as young women of color, attempting to create careers for themselves with their true talents. There’s nothing more real than that!

I ran into Julissa at a swanky new nail salon in Brooklyn and I had to give her the HB 5 Star Treatment! Check our chat out below!

*If I was stranded on a desert island I’d bring…Um, if it’s people I’d probably wanna bring my nephew because I love him to pieces. My mom to watch him, and you know what? My dad. Mom, dad and nephew. My three older brothers, they can stay elsewhere. Just mom, dad and nephew.

**How do you express your love…In affection. I didn’t grow up with a lot of affection, even though I come from a big family. It was just like a known thing. Yeah we all know; we all love each other. We know it. But we would never be uber affectionate with each other. I always show it in being affectionate if I’m in a relationship. You know I’m in love if I cannot keep my hands off the person.

*** The best way to get over a breakup...Keeping busy. Honestly, if you’re busy, then no matter what it is, occupy your time. Work out, do things for you. This is your time. So use it in a productive way. Just keep busy, cause the busier you are, the less you’re thinking about it.

**** The one thing that I don’t like about myself…Oh I hate that I procrastinate. I’m such a procrastinator. I’m a Libra, so that’s supposedly one of our traits. I hate that I take forever to get to things.

*****What was your last moment of lust…Its been so long. Well actually I was just lusting over these Giuseppe shoes that I wanted. So that was my last moment of lust.
