Nollywood actress, Funmi Awelewa has shared a word of advise to those who would love to see her broken and left without a sense of pride.
She stated that such people may write her off with their lies but she will always rise like dust from the dirt they dumped her in.
Funmi Awelewa shared the below post which she culled from Maya Angelou.
“You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may tread me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise… Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries… You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise… …I rise
I rise
I rise”, she wrote.
