Publisher of Genevieve Magazine, Betty Irabor took to Instagram to write
about her encounter with single mothers at a recent event where she
spoke about being raised by a single mom.
"Oh the emotions! Spent time out of my bubble yesterday to feel the
agony, the pain, the discrimination and stigma of single moms. Tears
flowed freely as these phenomenal women shared stories of their escape
from abusive marriages and life as widows and unmarried mothers.
The stories of landlords who brand them prostitutes
and won't offer them tenancy. Shared my story of being raised by a
single mom and the struggle and triumph of becoming who I am. Thank you
"Single Moms" Deola and her team for the love and platform offered these
hurting women to begin their journey towards their healing and taking
charge of their lives. We all need to empower these women, they need
jobs, mentors, funding for their businesses, school fees and a lot of
love NOT STIGMA!"
