In her words of appreciation, she wrote, “Really, when I look back on it, I wouldn’t change a thing. I mean, it was so important for me to lose everything because I found out what the most important thing is ... to be true to yourself. Ultimately, that’s what’s gotten me to this place. I don’t live in fear. I’m free. I have no secrets and I know I’ll always be OK, because no matter what, I know who I'm. I'm dedicating this award to my Mum I can't imagine my life without you mummy you have been there for me all the time your unconditional love, support, encouragement above all prayers is what Keeps me moving forward and to be who and where I'm today.
