In a video on X, the young lady stated that she has always known she did not want to have children, but was unable to make her intentions public for fear of what others would say.
However, she is now able to boldly declare her stance on childbirth, even though the fear of judgment has not vanished completely.
"I don't want children. It took me so long to be able to open my mouth and say that in front of people. Even now, when I say it, I still think: 'maybe someone will sit and judge me and say I'm saying negative things with my mouth and that one day I'd regret it.' I'm ready to say it now."
According to the young lady, she does not know why most women, despite their accomplishments in life, are, in the end, reduced to being mothers.
She gave an instance where some top Ghanaian women attended a program at her workplace, but after everything go back to being mothers.
"Is that all there is? At the end of the day, I am reduced to being a mother? I had less positive things to say about motherhood when I was younger; it is now that I have gotten older that I see motherhood as a good thing."
