Reflecting on her failed marriage and how she has chosen to move on from it, Kaffy opened up about it saying:

KAFFY: It was just that two people are no longer in agreement. I have grown out of it. Yes, I know what was wrongly done to me; but, I don’t want to look at things from the perspective of him being bad and me being good. If something is not working, one should let it go, especially because there are children involved. If my mind does not work well, how would I raise better children?

The more important thing is for parents to be involved in the lives of their children, whether or not they are married. But, that is one thing the world is struggling to understand. People are more worried about the union than the quality of the relationship people are forming within it.

Looking into the future, Kaffy opens up about lesson she's now learned, dating, and the fear that men would be intimidated by her saying:

KAFFY: I don’t think any man that is meant for me will be scared to approach me. I believe there are amazing and cool men out there, and those who are mine, will come. I don’t want to have that cliched thinking that men are usually intimidated (by successful women). A man who knows what he wants goes for it.

As women, God has blessed us so much that with or without men, we can survive and even be successful. But, we also desire companionship and that is good. But, it is not a do-or-die affair. I know my value as a woman more now than ever before. Any man who has me is blessed.
