A Message from Simi
Nigerian singer Simi passionately emphasizes the importance of financial independence for women.
In a recent TikTok video, she urged parents to raise daughters who understand how crucial it is to take care of themselves and not solely rely on others.
Simi stated, “Don’t teach your daughters to think that they should depend on someone else.
When someone is treating you well, it should be because you can also treat yourself. Relationships should be about mutual support—both partners should uplift each other.”
She highlighted that financial independence provides women with security and the ability to thrive on their own. “When you know you can fend for yourself, it empowers you.
Every woman deserves to enjoy life and should feel confident taking up space in the world.”
Reflecting on her background, Simi recognized her privilege in growing up in a supportive environment that nurtured her ambitions. “I realize I speak from a place of privilege.
I had people who believed in me and gave me opportunities. But many women face significant hurdles—less support, fewer opportunities, and less encouragement.”
Simi concluded with a heartfelt message: “We all need to step up. If you can help a deserving woman or give her an opportunity, please do. Supporting each other is vital.”
By encouraging self-sufficiency and mutual support, we can help empower the next generation of women.
