In a video on X, Monica said it was no longer easy working for other people, hence her decision to study fashion so she can have her business when she's done with school.
"I want to become a great woman. I want to become a good woman for kids, the nation and family. I have four children. Working for someone these days is hard. So, if you have your own job, it will help you support your family."
According to Monica, her first child is in her final year in a Senior High School, and her second child is in JHS 3. The second child is followed by a set of twins who are also in school.
Monica's first child indicated that when her mother informed her that she was going to school, she was initially worried. The young lady explained that she was worried about how the young students would treat her mother.
However, she has realised that her mother is happy going to school and relates well with her fellow students.
