“My personal life, marriage – I just go with the flow. My mental wellness is really vital for me. My career is extremely important for me, darling.
“I have to make an impact. I need to empower a lot of people. I need to motivate the young people out there. I must remain strong for my children and siblings. Why am I still alive?
