“I did a funny video with my husband recently where we were on a local bus, doing conductor and driver.
It was giving me memories of how I grew up, and I actually loved where I grew up.
And I saw people dropping comments like, "Have she even thought about what that could do to her brand? How can someone build her brand for years and want to destroy it with local, classless content?"
Do you have any idea where I'm coming from? I can't fake it.
Where I’m coming from, if you want to take your shower, you need to get up 2 hours before the time, go to the well, carry your water in the bucket, and go stand in line, waiting for people to come out before you shower.
And God be with you if the person inside has an issue with you—you would wait for two hours and still not shower because you would see someone bathing for hours.
And there were no doors—you had to use your wrapper to cover the entrance before bathing. That’s where I’m coming from.
So the fact that I’m here—it’s not by my power or by my might. So why on earth would you think I would be bothered about what I do and how it would affect my brand?
When I'm simply living my life, showing God that I'm grateful for taking me this high—so because God has helped me and cleaned me up, I should now say, “No, I can't do such again?”
I also posted the compound I grew up in. Some people were like, "How can you show this?"
Why won't I show it? Do you know that just by doing that, people are motivated to see that where they are now isn’t their final bus stop?
So many people have hope from that alone—that it can actually get better for them. If it got better for Veekee, that way I have influenced them."
