When Peart opened up about her adoption in 2019 she emphasised that she would withhold details of the story because she prefers that her daughter be the one to tell it.
“It's been really incredible. I've tried not to make a big deal of it in terms of talking about it. Women do this every day, our grandmothers did this for our parents. There are aunties, women have to travel and then someone has to take care of their children. It's a village and I'm an African and I live by everything that an African means as much as I possibly can,” she told TshisaLIVE.
The actress is passionate about motherhood and has spoken openly about the many sacrifices she’s made to afford her children a good life and be a present mother.
“I have two children (that I love, live with and I pay for everything). I’m a black woman ... Backing down is never an option when it comes to my kids and the lessons to teach them,” Pearl tweeted.
Pearl further explained her decision to stay in the country instead of relocating, saying it was based on her wanting to be there for her children.
“My life, my career choices and even coming back to SA — was centred on my children. I realigned my vision and goals to make sure I could be here for them and provide for them.”
