She said: “We just started short films, Afro Tales, whereby in every episode we give people different stories; stories that everybody can relate to.
“Also being in a position whereby I lost three women that I knew because of BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift). And it wasn’t a funny feeling. You know somebody and the next thing you hear is that she had a complication, she couldn’t walk and then she died. Different cases. So, I had to go deeper into BBL. We had to write a story about that. And we did one episode of Afro Tales that was about BBL.”
