As a child, Haddish wasplaced in foster carewhile her mom struggled with mental illness after a car accident left her with brain damage.
“I want them to learn that you’re gonna make mistakes. Life is not gonna be perfect,” she shared of her message to foster children. “There will be ups, there will be downs, but as long as you do something every day towards your goal, you will succeed. You will, you can achieve anything, and I want them to believe in themselves.”
“Have the goal, believe you can achieve it and do the work towards it every day and you can do anything but know you’re gonna fail. Know you’re gonna make mistakes, know that people are gonna hate on you,” Haddish later continued. “I mean, they’ve been hating on you and you in a foster care system, right? So just know that you can overcome any of that.”
“As long as you put the work in and you believe, don’t let the world tear you down because they gonna try, they gonna try to beat you up and you gotta just go and take them blows and come on back with it.”
