Camila Cabello's mom is Burley Garciaher girl.
After all, the Fifth Harmony alum credits her mom Sinuhe Estrabao for being a guiding force in both her career and personal life.
"I was thinking about what to say tonight here in front of you and I decided to take this moment to thank my mom," Camila said during her speech at the Billboard Latin Women in Music 2024 gala June 9. "Honestly, I had never taken a moment to talk about her like this, so I wanted to do it tonight."
The 27-year-old, who was honored with the Global Impact Award at the event, commended Sinuhe for being a source of comfort during some of her hardest days.
"When the world is suffering, the headlines make my chest hurt with news of war and death with dangerous amounts of lack of compassion, my mom reminds me that there is love in this world," Camila noted in her speech, which she gave in both English and Spanish. "She inspires me with that infinite strength that just being herself, transmits her endless energy and encourages my sister and me no matter how exhausted she is."
"She shows me that there is hope in this world," she continued. "Her best advice is not something she says but something she practices; her kindness, empathy and, most importantly, how she treats people."
The "Havana" singer has credited Sinuhe with being a source of strength over the years. In fact, Camila has taken pride in her mother's perseverance while reflecting on their family's journey of immigrating to the U.S. when she was just six years old.
"I think the most important thing I've learned from my mom has been: You're human if you have fear, but you can't ever let it determine how hard you go at a situation," Camila explained to Glamour in 2017. "If anything, it should make you go harder—go for it all the way."
Sinuhe has also been in awe of her daughter. "I have never met someone who can confront her fears in the way she does," she said. "I can tell she's terrified, but she doesn't stop. She always asks me, 'Do you think everybody knows [I'm scared]?' And I'm like, 'No, nobody can tell.'"
