Daudeth has a very positive outlook on life and wishes to inspire others to do the same, below are two quotes from her interview!

“The moment you smile you are happy. Why? because a smile is the face of happiness… for me happiness is a smile”

“Of course there are things you can change and you can make them better, but I don’t think you can change what is meant for you…if it doesn’t happen you wouldn’t appreciate the things you have in life”

“I hope that being blessed by the success and good fortune that I’ve had, not only in being able to complete transition to the point where I’m really comfortable with my life and also sustaining my relationship. That may inspire people to hang onto situations and to seek help. So that when they’re faced with a similar situation that they can believe that the things they really value in their lives can be kept or that they will find something better”
