Stating her strengths, sorrows, weaknesses, and personal conflicts, she kept the connection her audience throughout. The rhetorical questions asked by Truth were influential to many, which also resulted in support of her audience.
The technique of her engaging directly with the audience in a conversational tone enables viewers to empathise with her attitude. She relates that her first editor stated, “Kaplinsky, that’s not a very…um, telegenic name. Would you consider changing

Although she admits to having her bad days, she is defiant in the fact that this disease is just a part of life. We all go through life.
