Priscilla shared that she grew up knowing real poverty, but made a promise to herself early on. She told the content creator that she always said she wouldn't let her background determine her future and that she would work hard to become somebody in life because her family was never privileged to have everything.

She explained that looking at her children and husband keeps her motivated because she wants to give them the best life she never had. The businesswoman revealed that her most expensive purchase was a residential house worth R12.5 million, and her monthly earnings are well over R200,000.
Her advice to people who are struggling was simple but powerful - don't give up, keep pushing, and keep working hard because you will get there. The inspiring interview has gone viral, getting over 84,600 reactions, more than 600 comments, and over one million views.
