She shared how her daughter Alaya and son Omar persuaded her to get married again. She said, "Just before Maneck came into my life, Alaya and Omar were chatting about something and they said, 'Mama, you should really get your life together.' I said, 'What?'

You should also get someone and just get married and settle down.'"
