“I just celebrated the big 13th birthday and I was so emotional. I was so emotional,” she says of her twins' recent birthday. “I think being able to see them become everything that they’re meant to has been fulfilling because if a lot of people have read my memoir, they’re just so blessed and I’m instilling everything in them that I didn’t have.”

“That’s exactly what I wanted to do. To be able to break the cycle that I grew up in and pave the way for women in my family generations to come, and women around the world. That’s genuinely what I’m so passionate about,” she continues. “To see my kids thriving and how they are in the community, it just makes me emotional. I’m an emotional creature. I can’t help it. I’m just so proud. So proud.”
