“I have no shame in saying this. Ali makes me enjoy being a woman,” she said. “His presence has softened me so much. My guard has come down. My level of rage has come down.”

She continued, reflecting on how she has evolved: “It took time, but now when I look back, I laugh at the things I used to get angry about. I was so angry before I met him.”
