Mimi niliparamia mambo Mungu akaninusuru sana, niliparamia kweli kweli. Lakini nikapenya kwenye tundu la sindano na sitaki kurudi kule nilitoka kabisa.  Nawaelimisha nyinyi na najielimisha na nafsi yangu. Kama nimeamua kutulia na Tanasha na basi ikawa hivyo.

[I cheated but I was lucky. God saved me. I escaped by the skin of my teeth. I don't want to go back to my old ways. I'm not only here to educate you but myself as well. Right now I've decided to settle down with Tanasha Donna]

I LOVED DIAMOND SO MUCH. GOD BLESSED US WITH TWO BEAUTIFUL KIDS. BUT I DECIDED TO LEAVE BECAUSE HE KEPT DISRESPECTING Me.

She added,

WHEN A MAN KEEPS DISRESPECTING YOU, IT’S TIME TO MOVE ON. DIAMOND KEPT ON REPEATING THE SAME MISTAKES HE HAD DONE. I KEPT ASKING MYSELF ‘WHY DO I HAVE TO SETTLE FOR LESS?’. I THEN DECIDED TO CALL IT QUITS.

WHEN YOU GET INSULTS FROM TROLLS, EVEN YOUR KIDS FEEL IT AS WELL. I HAVE ALL GROWN BOYS AND COULDN’T STAY ANYMORE.  FOR THE SAKE OF THE CHILDREN, I THINK IT WAS THE RIGHT TIME TO GO. I ‘M RAISING MY SONS TO RESPECT WOMEN.
