She took to her Instagram account to reminisce on the past one year of her stardom:

"I woke up this morning feeling very emotional; it’s been one year already since God used aunty TY to turn my story around. It’s been one year since all of you accepted me, gave me a chance and celebrated me like I was born to be part of this system.

I look back to January 1st, 2016, and realize where my life was and what my priorities were, but January 2017 was different for my family and me.

It is still like a dream to me at times and I can only say THANK YOU JESUS AND THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS BEEN A PART OF THIS PROCESS: my supporters, colleagues, fans, critics, my role models: God bless you all & grant your heart desires.

I will continue working on myself and try not to disappoint all those that believe in me. Please bear with my mistakes and inadequacies and keep praying for me.

There are nights when my husband and I wake up to pray for you all without knowing you and we end up in tears… We appreciate you and we love you all.
