“People are not aware of the hardship I went through and the many hours I had to put in preparing for pageants to help my mother.”
“When I got my first trophy at school he was not there to celebrate with me. I have won pageants before and he never showed up. Now that it is a huge and national title, he wants to be visible and he wants to come back into my life,” she added.
“My father never thought I would grow up and achieve what I have achieved. I told him never to think it was my mother who made me say all the things I told him
“It was something that came from the bottom of my heart. I felt deeply hurt. I have seen it all because I am always with my mother, who was always there for us as a family.”
