“My husband doesn't even like taking me to places like that. I love being a girl. I'm such a girly girl. So, I love those things. Nails, hair, you know, doing something that makes me feel good about myself. If for you, it means going shopping, do it”

“They didn't ask to be in the industry that we're in. They didn't ask to be popular figures, and we can't put the pressure of being in the public eye on them. It's a lot of pressure and, and unnecessary pressure”

“It doesn't mean that they're horrible parents. I think to each their own”

“First of all, let me say a disclaimer that anyone who does that, it doesn't mean that they're bad people”

“I'm doing the best that I absolutely can because my children are my world”

“All of us as parents have gone through those moments where you're like, 'I could have done better as a parent. I should have seen this. I should have done this. I should have done that.' But ultimately, it's about learning from those mistakes and making sure that we grow from them and do better for our children”

“I do everything in my power to make sure that when I'm with them, I'm with them a hundred percent, and they know that they have my attention. That's their time with their parents, and in that moment, I'm a parent, not Ntokozo Mbambo”

“My children should never feel like, to mom, we were secondary to everything else. My girls are amazing. They are God's perfect gift to me. They make me smile in ways that are just unimaginable. They make me forget the woes of this world”

“It really does help when you discover it early because it cushions you as well. You don't fall into the temptation of thinking, 'Let me find an easier route or let me do this.' My husband and I are really trying to work on our girls, talk to them, have conversations with them about what interests they have and also identify certain gifts and talents that they have”

“I remember when I was about six years old, they took me to piano lessons. They set things in motion. I was in a group with my parents”

“I can hear things that regular people wouldn't normally hear. That was a light bulb for them. They set a path for me that would direct me into music and that would make my musicality grow”
