"I am not one of those who concentrate on regrets, I believe everything we go through are life lessons, the mistakes, they all make us better people."

"Music is what I do, I love music so yes it has been worth it, it was very necessary that I come back and I’m glad I did."

"I’m really grateful for the love, truth is, I was not expecting it like that and I am grateful to everyone. I must say, the love and affection shown me since I my come back is more than before and I’m humbled. You see, there are others who take a break, come back and it doesn’t work out for them but I have been showed something different."

"I am very emotional and the last thing I want to see is for a friend or someone I know to betray me. I cannot just stand that so I keep very few friends I trust so that I don’t get hurt. It takes a while for my heart to heal when it gets broken."

"Going online to exchange words or explaining myself about a particular issue about me is the last thing I would ever do. Ignoring my haters is so simple for me. I have been doing it over the years and it has really helped my brand. That is the reason my issues are not out there. More so, I want to work with serious brands and I know good brands don’t want celebrities with too much drama around them."

"I get a lot of people trying to get me into trouble by saying things about me that are untrue. I hear stuff about me that I sometimes want to respond to but when I look at my brand and my focus, I intentionally forget about everything and let it go. Staying out of trouble is so easy for me but I wonder why some celebrities are not able to do so."

"It was fantastic, this is actually my first event that I have planned with my team like this is the first time I've been very involved in a concert concerning me. So it was very interesting to see how the process was like and it was very nice to know that I have so much love from my colleagues in the music industry."

"Our generation is so pressed! So fast! And so unhappy. TAKE A DEEP BREATH. Get present in the moment and ask yourself what is important this very second."

"This music thing was never a part of my plans at all, I grew up really confused, I had no idea what I wanted to become so every time my mind was changing on what profession I want to do. Music is a blessing I stumbled upon because I was so confused about what I wanted to do until it just came to me accidentally, coming into it from my life before where I was very reserved and quiet."

"Thinking about it, my lows have brought me this far, so I can't even complain and highs have been that I have just grown into myself a bit, the confidence is there, the music is more matured, yeah, I'm just loving everything I'm doing, the exposure is great, I'm meeting amazing people, just learning from them and my pocket is full."

"It's sad because there are women who are making it through hard work and just going through the way life is. So, people shouldn't judge quickly but at the same time, at the end of the day, people also have their own opinions. Most at times, some of these opinions are not true...People should just mind their own business."

"Coming this far has not been easy, I feel older and wiser now. It also feels good, it has been an interesting journey with a lot of highs and lows, loads of lessons learnt which have all made me a much better person. Just like anyone else in this world, life is not a bed of roses all the time, somethings have come through from learning from one’s mistakes, but we thank God for where we are right now."

"If you have realized, I don't use alcohol, drugs and dress half-naked. This is because of what my parent thought about the music industry. I want to clear that thinking."

"We jell on the creative level, so you know music is a universal language and it brings everybody together. It doesn't matter where you are from or what language you speak so that's what we always vibe as musicians."

"It’s crazy, it’s not easy to come up with an album. There’s so much work around it."

"I picked home economics because I was lazy. I didn’t want to learn. I came to understand that it is one of the toughest things to actually do. Because the practical consumes so much of your time that you are unable to read your book. It was tough, and that’s where I learned my first lesson: nothing in life is easy. Everything is difficult. So far as you want to succeed at it, it is difficult,"

"I’m not an expert in dating. So, I didn’t know how to read red flags and all that, but now I can spot a red flag from a man. You have to be a Christian. I don’t want to be in a relationship with someone who doesn’t believe in God, who is not saved."

"I think music is free. You can't tell a painter what to paint because they are from Ghana. It's a feeling so when you enter the studio and you feel like singing a French song, sing it...it's a creative art so people create...so you can't force anyone into a box."

"I don't see when I am performing unless I take a really good look and stare, but not really. It helped me when I started music and I was very nervous about the crowd because, when I got on stage, I will not see anybody."

"Trends are not timeless, timeless songs are unique in that they are something that comes out of specific moments. They are things that come from the heart but the danceable songs will always come and go and we all have some of these songs."

"Destiny just has to do with me as a person and my journey so far. I started from, like, a very low point in my life. Very timid, very shy, not confident at all. I had so many... If I say mental, people will take it out of context, but I was not very okay here (head) and here (heart). But just going through life, going through music, people I've met on the way, it just brought me to a very beautiful point."

"The song Destiny, basically, I'm taking control of my life, and I am the one in charge of it. Nobody else can move my life in any other way. Just me. It's inspired by everything my life is saying today. Like, I have just been moving like this at my own pace, in my own time."

"You think you have only 5 cedis, but guess what, someone doesn’t even have anything, so be very grateful and just keep fighting. As for the Akpl3, that’s the number one secret to my evergreen forever young looks, but the other one is that I mind my business."

"I like to mind my business all the time so I’ll advise that you also mind your business, and you’ll avoid all the wrinkles. Also, be grateful and content with what you have. I know we hear this all the time, but someone doesn’t even have what you have."

"It's not just about music but everything we just love the foreign stuff so looking at our numbers and the way our system has been infiltrated with foreign things how can we get the level where people are complaining about."

"I am from a very poor background so I only need to work hard to achieve success and be who I was before i became a star and that had made me very unique and to remain simple as well."

"If I were to make something, I wouldn’t want it to be polished or clean or fussy."

"I want to be a part of this next step of getting more and more females in the door. And even if I don’t make it, hopefully there’s a whole crop of young talent that’s coming through that I can help."

"As a young girl, you don’t look at it as, I can do this, because there’s no one doing it, I’m a big believer of having more women, not just as drivers but mechanics and engineers"

"As a young girl, you don’t look at it as, ‘I can do this,’ because there’s no one doing it"

"It’s definitely challenging as a young female driver trying to overcome those physical barriers,"

"It’s a sport that should be available to men and women to compete equally. There’s very few sports where that’s the case."

"I don’t want anyone to make money catching me out being me. I want to give them all of me."

"I would never show one side of me because that’s setting myself up to fail"

"This is the result of hard work and we know that we have some weaknesses because we are in a process of transition from the old generation to the new generation but without a doubt, my goal with the Mozambique team in recent years is to win the AfroBasket and this year I definitely have the same goal"

"Consistency and work ethic has always been my core values when it comes to the game of basketball; Especially since the goal is to continue playing at the next level. Being a member of the AFA Sports team would motivate me to do that. I’m extremely excited to be a part of something amazing. I am looking forward to what’s in store."

"To become apart of an amazing brand like AFA Sports is such a huge blessing. I’ve always looked up to athletes specifically women who had broken barriers representing brands that promote athletes to look and perform at their best. AFA Sports is a brand that does just that"

"I am still in shock but I do know how hard we all worked to secure this title. Although I’m so grateful to have been awarded team MVP, it was a collective effort and every time I step out on that court with my team members, I am filled with gratitude that I get to do what I love every single day"

"I feel capable and it will always be my duty to give my contribution both in terms of national team and projects that may be worth a different and brilliant future for our basketball. In general, I want to be remembered as someone who contributed a lot to the game in Mozambique and continue to inspire future generations with my legacy"

"High competition has other requirements and we unfortunately still cannot speak the same language. It involves an investment both in terms of athletes in the respective clubs, training with a certain insistency on coaches and finding competitive volume. And for that to happen there needs to be more support."

"It's something that I have always aspired to do, having played in this team for a couple of years. Having more of a leadership role is something I’ve wanted to take on. It'll help me as a cricketer and learning to think as a captain on the field will hopefully help my batting as well."

"It's a massive honour to be offered this position as captain for the next two tours,"

"The patriarchal world needs to be demolished."

"I think I don't know the level of play, so I have to ease in for it, so I have to set myself up for a very good end of year."

"I think it's because I don't know how the beginning of the year is going to go for me."

"I don’t think I can predict what I’ll do - I never am able to do that - but it definitely made me appreciate a lot of things that I took for granted."

"I was just thinking when I was watching Serena and Venus (Williams), I was thinking, ‘I probably, no way, will ever play at their age.’ But sitting here, I’m like, ‘No, you know what? I might do that."

"I feel a lot of joy coming back here. It’s kind of like seeing an old friend I haven’t seen in a long time."

"For me coming back here, it means a lot. This room, in particular. There were some tears shed. A lot"

"I think it’s important for that community of young boys and girls to see that name, and know that they can do what I do, I represent those who don’t have an easy journey."
