Emma Stone: “My mother has always been my emotional barometer and my guidance. I’ve been lucky to have one woman who truly helped me through everything.”
Beyoncé: “My mom is one of those people you feel honoured to meet. And no matter who you are, you fall in love with her, because she’s spiritual, she’s inspiring, she’s strong, she’s funny, she’s strong, she’s funny, she’s creative, she’s talented…she’s everything that I want to be.”
Nomuzi Mabena: “Like most girls, my mother helped me find my shopping habits. We never had a lot to spend on clothes and she taught me about smart shopping, like how to mix what I had with pieces from little bargain shops. I still use those tricks today!”
Angelina Jolie: “My mother was a full-time mother. She didn’t have much of her own career, her own life, her own experiences. Everything was for her children. I will never be as good a mother as she was. She was just grace incarnate. She was the most generous, loving person – she’s better than me.”
Liezel van der Westhuizen: “My special Mother’s Day was seven years ago when I celebrated it with my mom, grandmother and sister. It was really memorable to have all four of us together, enjoying an afternoon of high tea.”
Jennifer Lopez: “The one thing that stays with me is my mother saying, ‘If you want to be in this business, you gotta be tough. You gotta have a thick skin and don’t worry about what people say and just do all the beautiful things I know you can do.’ I think she’s been very encouraging to me in that way.”
Luthando Shosha: “Every Sunday spent with my mom came with a different heartwarming moment. Metro FM would play in the background while we cooked, and she’d dance and show me how it was done in her day. The thought of her smile is always heartwarming.”
