Whole communities are growing up without fathers or male role models. Bringing up a family in the best of circumstances is not easy.

I don't know that I have any role models now that are fixed. Definitely my mom - she's the coolest. She's worked really hard her whole life and I just think she's got a great attitude. Moms just know so much it's so silly.
