Jennifer Hudson is inspired by her mother

London: Oscar winning actress Jennifer Hudson`s parenting skills are inspired by her late mother.

The "Dreamgirls" star gave birth to son David Jr. in August and wants to show him the same love and affection her mom Darnell Donnerson, who was tragically shot dead last October, gave her, reports femalefirst.co.uk. "It`s never easy to be a mother but I have said to myself that everything I do will be guided by love. If I can be half the mom my mother was to her children, then I`m doing more than alright," said Hudson. IANS
