She acknowledged the need to be mentally prepared for the challenges that accompany the spotlight and emphasized her focus on maintaining a low profile, adapting to circumstances, and looking ahead to her future.

“Before I went into the BBN house, I told myself that l had to be mentally ready for everything that would come. I just have to keep things on the low and be able to adapt to whatever comes my way.

“Besides, I see anything that comes my way as what is expected. It is left for me to overlook things, including clashes and backbiting, and just focus on my future,” she added.
