Simi opens up about motherhood challenges, two-year struggle.
Nigerian singer and songwriter Simisola Bolatito Kosoko better known by her stage name Simi, has talked openly about her two-year dedication to become a mother and the difficulties she encountered.
The singer is managing to juggle motherhood and her work. It is clear that the artist has undergone a personal and professional transformation during the last two years.
The Duduke crooner opened up about embracing motherhood while attempting to continue her profession in an exclusive interview with Cool FM.
Simi described becoming a mother as the most amazing thing she has ever done and expressed her wonder and excitement at the experience.
She highlighted motherhood’s demanding yet fulfilling aspects. She acknowledged that everyone has a different experience by emphasizing the sacrifices she had to make and the development of her sentiments as a mother.
She acknowledged, though, that as she started this new chapter of her life, she occasionally felt exposed. The singer didn’t begin to rediscover herself and reclaim her sense of identity until her daughter Adejare turned two.
When asked about her little bundle of joy, Simi replied, “Oh my god, she is one of the most interesting people already. It is a lot of things at the same time, and I feel like the more time I spend as a mom, my feelings about it evolve.”
Simi further explained the transformative process she underwent as a mother, stating, “2 years later after I had my child, I started to see myself a little more. When I say see myself, I mean notice myself, like oh you’re still there.
It’s like the tunnel vision became wider, and I was able to see and experience myself a little bit more. And so it can make you really vulnerable, but it’s such a beautiful thing. That’s the most incredible thing I have ever done, and every day I am grateful to have that opportunity. But it’s not easy.”
