00:00Thank you very much.
01:00Thank you very much.
02:00Thank you very much.
02:30I think the fact that people started sharing and voicing their own stories or opinions
02:38or what they're seeking, I mean, it could be about so many different aspects that all
02:46encapsulates under women empowerment.
02:49I think that's what it is really all about today.
03:00I was like, wow, 17 years to Camden, that's amazing, time has just flown by and I think
03:21that's always a good thing.
03:22If time is flying, it's a good thing.
04:30Children are a blessing from God and I've always said that when I got married, people
04:48were like, oh, you're going to have a baby?
04:49When are you planning your baby?
04:50And I'm like, it'll happen when meant to be and that's exactly what happened.
05:00I've had a bit of a break from cinema.
05:02I had my baby girl, so it's been a bit of a break, but time has flown by for me.
05:06I've had no concept of how quickly time is going by, but having said that, my choices
05:12ahead is not defined by the fact that I've had a break or, oh, now I'm a mother.
05:18It's more about work that will interest me, that'll excite me and make me want to do what
05:24I do every waking day.
05:31Yes, I'm here to be an actor and that's who I am, but an actor is in the public eye, so
05:47there will be opinions and I keep saying, yes, there is negativity, but I'm blessed
05:56the positivity is so much more, that the negativity is just a drop and it just slides
06:01right off.
06:26Can you imagine, I mean, for the longest time, everybody kept saying, so when, so when, so
06:41when, social media, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, something, and I kept kind of, you know, keeping
06:46away because, and for a very simple reason, I genuinely, I think it's fun, it's enjoyable,
06:54it can be intense, it can be a great platform, a great avenue to express yourself, to connect,
07:01and it is, it is a way of life today and tomorrow, so you have to embrace it, no doubt, but at
07:07the very beginning, I stayed away from it because initially, I just felt that this was
07:11kind of, you know, people were only focusing on the numbers and this, and people themselves
07:16forget perception, and I just felt, are you serious?
07:19Do you need this to, to gauge your, your popularity and to kind of feel some kind of
07:26self-worth, and does this need to be a barometer of success?
07:29That's something I did not want to play into, and I didn't want to be a part of, and that's
07:32why I kind of stayed away from it for the longest time, but currently, I just thought
07:36with, you know, I think I just succumbed to, and I, and the joy that, oh my well-wishers
07:43world over are like, oh my God, the best news ever, and I'm like, that's sweet, all right,
07:48thank you, happy to be on, and happy to share, and Instagram is sweet and easy, so yeah.
