Masaba said, “There is a lot of strength in knowing the truth, in knowing your truth. Because, you can go to bed at night, knowing that you know exactly what your situation is, where you stand. There is a great amount of power in that. You know, then you’re not answerable to anyone. And, I think, for me as a child, obviously there was a lot of anger in being trolled.

She added, “Because, my simple theory was that I remember being in school and for whatever reason, school, wherever. Being trolled for being raised by a single parent, the nature of my parents relationship, but I was like ‘Your father, your mother are everywhere. They are everywhere. That’s allowed?’ So your parents can pretend that this is a happy marriage, but your doing your own thing. But, my parents who decided not to get married because they were like we want to do our own thing. They still had me. Atleast they were honest about it.
