My house is open for my son’s dad to come and see him anytime. In my house, there’s a standing law; you don’t curse or insult my son’s father for any reason whatsoever.

As a matter of fact, the first three months of this year have been way better than my entire life. I think that when one is patient, things would fall into place.I didn’t do anything differently; it was just grace of God that found me. I’m not in anybody’s space and I’m not threatened by anybody in the movie industry. However, I plan to really be in people’s faces this year. My resolution this year was to ‘ball’ and have fun but I think what I wanted is different from what God is throwing at me. I just wanted to have fun in 2020 but it’s been loss of work for me”.
