Speaking about her parenting, Teyana has said in the past:
“I take a little bit of everything from my mom. I be stealing all her little mom things. There’s no such thing as being a perfect mom. I think as a new mom, we get caught up in thinking that we’re doing everything wrong. And it’s like, no wrong or right way, you know? So just to not overthink it and, you know, always do the best that you can do and not put too much pressure on yourself.”
