I know who I am because I know who God tells me that I am, and I have such a loving and wonderful family at home.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s very easy to stay rooted and planted around the people that I love. \u2026 When there are unwanted opinions, you just go, \u2018OK, you can have them, you\u2019re welcome to them.
