Once you're a mother, you're always a mom. So it doesn't matter if your child comes out green, purple, bisexual or whatever. That's who they are and you love them regardless. You guide them as best as you can. We must always proceed with love first and foremost.

I think every person deserves two marriages, because you may not get the first one right. You really never knew. That's why divorce is so big. We all want it to last, but that's not always the reality of it.

An innocent little human being was solely dependent on me! I took all the CPR and breastfeeding classes and learned quite a bit.

While there's plenty to be said for drive and talent, it was my parents' support that started me on the path that led me here today.

I didn't plan on being a single mom, but you have to deal with the cards you are dealt the best way you can.

When you're single, you're very independent. Very independent women raised me. We didn't have a lot of male figures as the head of our household, so I got, and took on, a lot of that strong spirit from the matriarchs in my family.

Im a realist, not a sugar coater. I believe in always letting people know what their obstacles are. And at the end of the day, I just want to be respected for my hard work.
