Toke Makinwa speaks on being childless, unmarried at 40
She said; “Regret is so exhausting; get comfortable with your truth. The hardest thing I could say to myself is, ‘Geez, I am 40, single, and childless.’ I said it, and I did not die! That used to make me almost tear up.
“But if I am completely honest, if I had gotten married again, I would’ve been divorced again because the lessons just never stop,”
Toke emphasized that perspective is everything. Instead of dwelling on societal pressures, she chooses to focus on her achievements.
She continued: “I can look at it and be like, ‘Oh my God, I don’t have a child and husband.’ But I can also look at it and say, ‘I am 40, I am a boss, I have built an empire, I am one of the most resounding voices in Africa, and I am not waking up miserable,’”
Encouraging others to embrace their realities, she added, “Sometimes you need to sit with your truth; you cannot shame the shameless.”
Toke Makinwa’s statement has since sparked conversations online, with many praising her confidence and self-awareness while others speculate a future regret.
