MOTHERHOOD
She gave birth to her son in 2019, and experienced postpartum depression as a new mother. "I didn't want to leave my baby. I didn't want to hoop. I couldn't eat, you don't sleep anyways. I didn't want people talking to me. I wanted to be in a cave. I had to learn to ask for help. That was the hardest thing for me to do because I felt weak. I still struggle with anxiety, that's never going to go away, but I don't think it's about that. It's how you manage it and how you choose your outlet. I just encourage anybody that feels like they're going through that, don't be afraid to ask for help. Your mental health is your responsibility. You can't pour out of an empty cup."
