And I only wanted to do it because I needed the benefits, you know, And I’m still proud of that.

Kelley [00:00:38] What do you really hope to do with what you’ve learned in your life and share with others? Cause I see you have a mission in your own mind of what you want to do, helping others. Love [00:00:45] Well, you know, I really want to try to inspire, motivate and entertain. Those have always been the three things I’ve always wanted to do. I have to be an example to a lot of people, especially to women. To all women. I try to be a perfect example to motivate them, to let them know that they can have the life that they want and in their way. This is just it. This is what we need right now, this time in our country. Because the one thing that music does, it brings everybody together. And then when you add a little bit of laughs is something that everybody can, you know, feel good about. This is the type of show that we need right now, and it’s right on time.
