She puts a lot of people to shame because she doesn't ever complain when her life is really overwhelmed. And she's a great beacon of hope for people who are looking to say, what am I going to be like when I'm 62? Well, be like Erica, because she's pretty fantastic. So she's my hero of the week and she's also on swell. We're very lucky to have her

#myhero My youngest daughter

You. Thank you so much for inviting me to this. Well, yeah, this is a great one. My hero. My hero is my daughter, my youngest daughter. She's my hero because she's so much smarter than me in life and how to treat people and how to be who she is. You know, she she's open, she's honest, she's hilarious. She's a beautiful singer. She's beautiful

But one specific person doesn't come in my mind. But I would like to bring in light some heroes we see in our daily lives. According to me, my heroes are all the single women and widows across the world. I think the kind of task they are doing, the undoable feats they are achieving in everyday life, like raising kids on their own and surviving without a partner, it is a very, very difficult thing everywhere, in every cultural paradigm

And I think that is really a beautiful quality, the most magnificent quality in any human being, to be able to look outward and not just think about yourself, but think about the situation of others and reflect on how you can learn from other people. So, Deborah, you are my hero, and so many other people's heroes as well. And I love the comment that I just read about single women

And she was young when she passed, but she was also a hero to everybody and probably needed to do work elsewhere in this world. So thank you so much for giving us this platform to talk. And to all the single mom heroes. I agree with that one, too. Bye
