Nollywood actress Debbie Shokoya has opened up about how motherhood transformed her life, describing it as the beginning of her happiest chapter.
The actress made the heartfelt revelation in a post shared on her Instagram page as she welcomed the month of July, expressing gratitude to God for the blessings she has received.
According to Shokoya, no amount of praise would be enough to thank God for His faithfulness, adding that she considers every day a celebration of life.
“My best life started after motherhood! I am grateful for the blessings. A thousand tongues are not enough to glorify the name of the Lord,” she wrote.
The actress, who was born on July 19, said she is embracing a lifestyle of continuous growth through learning, unlearning, and relearning.
She also stressed the importance of remaining authentic despite what she described as a world filled with noise and false narratives.
“Every day is actually my birthday. I choose to learn, unlearn and relearn every day. I choose being true to myself in a world full of noise and false truths. I choose to stay real in an environment flooded with inauthenticity,” she stated.
Reflecting on her personal journey, Shokoya said her resilience continues to amaze her and has strengthened her resolve to remain true to herself regardless of public opinion.
She acknowledged that not everyone would appreciate her boldness, honesty or personality, but noted that she is gradually learning to stop seeking validation from others.
“I have come to realise that not everyone would like me, stand my guts, admire my boldness, and embrace my honesty. I have stopped, or maybe am working to stop, caring about it and focus squarely only on things that truly matter and require my reactions,” she added.
