“If you have watched the video being circulated and it made you uncomfortable in a anyway, I want to say that I am deeply deeply and sincerely sorry.
I have nothing in my heart except love, progress and positive supportive for you.
I granted the interview to highlight some of the challenges we genuinely face as a people, and to also allow us share our fraustration
