Why did you say yes to joining a reality show?

I said yes to joining the reality show because I wanted to support my daughter. Reality television is truly who she is. It suits her personality and feels more like a calling than just a career.

How do you feel watching yourself on TV?

Watching myself on television is overwhelming because I never imagined I would be on TV. It still feels so unbelievable.

How would you describe Londie as a daughter?

She is such a blessing. She is an amazing person and I feel incredibly blessed to have been chosen to be her mother. All I can say is, “Glory to God in the highest” (Luke 2:14).

Have you always known that Londie was going to be a star?

I always knew there was something special about her. From the day she was born, she had so much energy and a passion for things I had never been involved in myself. She constantly surprised me. To be honest, I knew she was special, but I never imagined it would become this big.

How do you keep her grounded?

Because I am a woman of strong principles, it has always been easy for me to keep her grounded. She knows that when it comes to me, she must always have a good reason for everything she does or wants to do.

She also knows that I will always give her honest guidance, which is why she comes to me whenever there is something new she wants to pursue.

How would you describe your relationship with her?

I am her biggest support system. We communicate openly and the respect she has for me is rooted in the trust we have built over the years.

I am her prayer warrior. She can call me even at midnight and I will always be there for her.

Our relationship is built on love, trust, respect and unwavering support.
