"I come from that society and there is a common thread, specifically family values - the idea that you do anything for your family, and the unconditional love for one's children"
About this Quote
The phrase “common thread” is the tell. It stitches individual life into a collective fabric, suggesting that what might look like personal resilience is also a shared cultural practice. In many Latin American and Caribbean contexts, family isn’t merely emotional support; it’s infrastructure. Saying “you do anything for your family” can sound tender, but it also carries a moral pressure: love expressed as labor, loyalty, and endurance. The subtext is that survival and success are rarely solo projects.
Then she sharpens it with “unconditional love for one’s children,” a move that does two things at once. It softens the potential harshness of “do anything” by centering innocence, and it frames parenthood as the purest proof of that ethic. Coming from a musician, it reads like a defense of priorities that might be judged from the outside: time away, public scrutiny, the compromises of a career. She’s not asking for applause; she’s drawing a boundary. However loud the stage gets, the core story stays domestic, intimate, and non-negotiable.
