When my sister passed away three years ago, she left me a really nice dress and two of her children [Destiny, 20, and Rock, 18]. I got the greatest gift that anybody could ever give somebody.
My sister was a free spirit, but I?m running Fort Knox. I?m a disciplinarian on everything. The children have to sit at the table, with napkins on their laps. They have to clear the table and make their own beds perfectly. Their shoes have to be put away at the door. We have a big household, and I run it like I run a business.
I?ve had to balance running my business with raising eight children. I gave birth on a Friday and went back to work on Monday. I took the babies to work, but I was home at night to cook dinner. It doesn?t matter how much you?re making. Raising children and running a business or working is challenging for any woman who is trying to get ahead. In June, Rock was hospitalized after a failed viral video stunt.
Rock jumped off the roof of our three-and-a-half-storey house. It was a Snapchat moment that went wrong. He was holding the video up, saying ?Look! Here is me live, jumping!? He was just trying to have fun with it, but he hit pretty hard on one foot, which crushed the bones in his ankle.
