Nollywood actress, Nse Ikpe Etim, has disclosed that her inability to bear children made her feel inadequate rather than shame.
The actress opened up on her personal life during an interview with Chude Jideonwo where she admitted that she felt inadequate as a woman when she found out she could not bear children of her own.
Discovering she couldn’t have children, Nse Ikpe Etim said she didn’t feel ashamed, rather she felt inadequate.
She said, “Finding out I couldn’t have children didn’t make me feel ashamed. I didn’t feel shame, but inadequacy, I felt inadequate as a woman because every time it was mentioned I would remember. So that’s what it was.
“Shame, I’m not ashamed. The least that I would be but I’m thankful for how I was brought up, we don’t tie shame to ourselves. We live through life fully and that’s how it is.”
