“All I wanted was her there, but she was providing for us. So, I think I knew how important that was for me, too, if I had a kid, I would want to give that to them,” she continued.\"A“The other thing she taught me, which is ‘hustle,’ and I saw how happy she was. I wanted my mom there, but I knew that I had a better, more fun mom, because she was really fulfilled by her work,” she said. Leslie shared that her mother loved being a parent, but she also “liked being an independent woman.”\"Person<\/p>\n
