Filmmaker Kemi Adetiba has made it known she is not less of a woman becuase she isn’t married or have kids.
She shares a video of Black-ish star Tracee Eliss Ross on her page and wrote;
“Before the “miss the point” folks start running rogue in my
comment section, Tracee Ellis Ross has never once said she never wants
to be married or have children. What she is saying however, is that
because she currently has neither, some people choose to invalidate all
of her personal achievements and growth. Their line of reasoning is her
life is yet to have TRUE meaning until a husband and child punctuate her
entire existence.This struck a chord as I get this all the
time. I will be 38 in just over a month and a half, and while I would
LOVE to be married (to my God-chosen companion, and best friend) and
have child(ren), I am very comfortable with the knowledge that my life
is just as valid, and beautiful, and happy, and successful, if for some
reason that never comes to pass. Marriage and kids is not my “crowning
glory”… It’s another BEAUTIFUL step in life I would love to take. I’d
also love to make (and keep) a billion dollars in my lifetime, but I
won’t be any less of a woman or Kemi Adetiba if that didn’t come to pass
either.
No… I’m not comparing the two. I’m just highlighting it
doesn’t diminish a (Wo)man’s -Kemi Adetiba’s – worth if it never
happens.
Hello… Good morning
