In the third episode of Fireside Chats, Mama Cax and Lacey Henderson discuss how they try to balance life in the public eye with their personal aspirations. It can be a challenge to do what is right for oneself and carry the responsibilities of a whole community, according to Mama Cax. It is also important to maintain control over your chosen projects.
