‘The simple truth is, I would not be here without that woman,’ Aduba said. ‘Period. End of story. I’ve never had a greater champion, a bigger supporter. She inspired me and encouraged me and my siblings every step of the way into believing that anything was possible that we could be and do anything even before I believed it.’
