Actress and Nollywood film producer Funke Akindele has shared her story of overcoming a difficult upbringing to achieve success.
The actress and filmmaker revealed on her Instagram page on Saturday that she became successful despite coming from a broken home because her late mother raised her well. She was talking about the inspiration behind her latest project.
In her words:
"What inspired A Tribe Called Judah? I want to touch on this particular thing that people have against women, this stigmatizion of women without Husbands who have children from different men and they believe single parents especially the women are useless, they see them as prostitutes and they don't believe the children can be successful in life.
"I'm from a broken home but I thank God for my mum, you know she raised us well and that's why I'm successfull today, so I just want to touch that part. I want to celebrate single parents and mothers out there, I want them to feel the pains and challenges they face in raising children, especially one with five children from five different men, from five different tribes".
