When asked if she has been strong-willed or she grew into being strong-willed? She said it’s something I grew into becoming because sickle cell is like an unpredictable illness sometimes you could be fine and sometimes you could be feeling the worst pain of your life, it just comes suddenly. I feel like I just had to make up my mind to be a strong person to always expect, sometimes I just expect the worst and if I make plans for an event or something, I just expect that I’ll probably fall sick before this time, I try to take precautions. So I just feel like it built me into being strong-willed and expecting worst case scenarios to happen. Watch the interview below;
