The actress revealed that her primary goal is to live a meaningful life and provide for her children and siblings.
“If you ask me now, can you name one failure? I don’t consider it a failure.
“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? My head is up because I have a goal. Sure, I cry, sure, but after I cry, I just look in the mirror and say, ‘Keep moving,’” she said.
