Karen has encouraged father figures to be in their children’s lives fully.

She also expressed her contentment and encouraged young people to pursue their dreams fearlessly.
“I have no regrets because I believe all things work for good according to His purpose,” Karen confidently stated during the interview.
She said her unwavering faith in God’s plan has driven her life, enabling her to embrace every opportunity and challenge with determination.
