To my friends Dee and Josette thank you for all your love and to my family for the love and support and encouraging me to stand for what I believe in, and to my two boys my biggest fans who have truly impressed me. Finally my husband Ismail I couldn’t have gone out every day and night without your support.”Shazly via a Facebook post
