She also talked about her new show ” Healing with Maria ” which recently premiered on African magic.
She said “ It was in 2021 after BBN. It was something personal not about me but something within the family. It was an issue within the narrative of drug abuse, and domestic violence in general. It literarily hurt me because I actually had no way of helping, I felt helpless about someone I cared a lot about and loved. So, I thought to myself that there should be more awareness to help those in this struggle and challenge”
