I just longed for certain connections and attachments with another person that I really lacked, I believe, growing up.

I have PTSD from all the reporters coming in over the years.

Some of the things I have done... of course I'm ashamed of in the past... was just to put food on the table and just take care of my family.

My calling was to be a mom.

If you feel rooted in your home and family, if you're active in your community, there's nothing more empowering. The best way to make a difference in the world is to start by making a difference in your own life.

At 13, Stade Rennais came to sign me, and the whole family moved to Rennes. I wanted my family to follow me and be by my side.

All these walls that keep us from loving each other as one family or one race - racism, religion, where we grew up, whatever, class, socioeconomic - what makes us be so selfish and prideful, what keeps us from wanting to help the next man, what makes us be so focused on a personal legacy as opposed to the entire legacy of a race.

I can't say no to my girls. They melt my heart. I'm very grateful for my family.
