My love for this nation is abiding. My confidence in its people, unwavering. And my faith in God Almighty, absolute. I know that His hand shall provide the needed moral strength and clarity of purpose in those instances when we seem to have reached the limits of our human capacity. This day is bold and majestic yet bright and full of spirit, as is our precious nation.

Speaking on what inspires her philanthropic acts, she told  Saturday Beats,  “I grew up in a challenging society, where girls dropped out of school because they lacked basic needs such as sanitary items.
