What gives me even more strength to move forward as I am is a lot of people from Africa who talk to me on social networks ‘thank you for what you are, thank you for what you showed because we can be killed for being us in our country’ and there are actually a lot of people hiding and I find it crazy because that’s how people get depressed and do everything and can’t live the way they want.‘ he explained.

He also took advantage of his time on the show to look back on his family life.

“After the depression, I returned to the military, met my daughter’s father.‘ he told me.

He continued: “My daughter was with her, I stayed with her for 4 years, we lived together; After a while, reality caught up with me. I realized that I was forcing myself not to look at women, I said to myself that this is not acceptable in religion. Even my very religious mother saw her proud of me for the first time, it was comforting to be with a man, having a child and actually staying in it, so I stayed a lot but I’m not like that, it wasn’t me“
