Actress cum filmmaker, Funke Akindele has disclosed that she had to work extremely hard to achieve success despite being from a broken home.
The mother of two disclosed this in a video shared via Instagram on Saturday while speaking on the inspiration behind her latest film, A Tribe Called Judah.
Funke Akindele said she became successful because her late mum raised her well despite coming from a broken home. In her words:
“What inspired A Tribe Called Judah? I want to touch on this particular thing that people have against women, this stigmatization 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 successful 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.”
