“I felt like a failure; a loser. I felt I wasn’t good enough, I felt little, I didn’t really know how to fit in or even start.”

“How was I even going to pull through? I never thought of making it in life. I just wanted my kids to be fine, that was my ultimate goal,” Iyabo said of life starting as a single mother.
