She continued, "Even if I'm doing a movie in LA, the directors know I gotta get my weekends off 'cause I gotta take a red eye [flight] back to Atlanta to show up for their competitions, to show up for basketball, football, whatever they got going on. I'm walking in with my suitcases and everything in tow 'cause it's so important for them to know that they have a parent there, rooting for them in the crowd, cheering them on."

"I'm a cheerleading mom. I'm an Olympic mom. I'm a basketball mom, soccer mom, football mom, all the things," she concluded.
