“I can never be a she but I’m making more money than the critics who condemn me.

If you like to address me as he or she, it doesn’t bother me.

“Being a woman has paved lots of ways for me. Women didn’t know how to use their resources as women when I was a guy.

“I didn’t have money, just there hustling. They don’t even want to associate with you but I’m not in for that, I want to be a boss of my own so I chose this path and I’m enjoying it.”
