She continued to get personal as she told them, “I’ve lost my job, publicly, in front of everybody. I lost my husband, I lost my home, I lost my friends, and I almost even lost my life. But in the midst of all the turmoil and trouble, I made a promise to myself, and that was to never give up on myself and to always be kind.”
