Although she has a love for family, Sydel has also made sure to pave her own way in life. "I have a great family, but I worked very hard to separate myself as much as I possibly can to create my own platform for myself because I'm very independent," Sydel said in a 2021 Togethxr interview.

She added, " ... We don't get constant recognition for what we do for others on the daily and that's okay, we don't need it. But what we DO need to is to love on ourselves every now and then. Life is hard but I am enough for me."
