I Don’t Want My Kids To Grow Up In Africa- Cee Of Mentor Fame Says
In a heartfelt video, Cee of Mentor fame shared her personal journey and shed light on the challenges she faced before achieving success.
During the interview, she expressed her belief that, due to the hardships she endured, she would not want her children to grow up in Africa, where poverty is prevalent.
Cee revealed that, as a child, she faced financial difficulties and had to sell food items to support herself and survive during those trying times.
Having risen to fame through the TV3 Mentor reality show, Cee also mentioned that, without the grace of God, poverty could have potentially taken her life as she struggled immensely.
Additionally, Cee recounted the hurtful experiences of being mocked by her cousins and others due to her appearance, which led her to contemplate suicide as a means to escape the torment.
“When I went to mentor I went with Ghana Must Go bag. I had nothing on me. I sold pork meat and ice cream. If I don’t sell that day we won’t eat. So I was doing that anytime I closed from school and I had to come back home early and prepare food,” she said in a video shared by Mari.Gyata on their Instagram.
She continued: “That’s the reason why I don’t want to allow any of my children to stay in Africa. Poverty is a disease. If God doesn’t intervene, it can kill you. Sometimes I have to go to houses to throw trash away and wash people’s bowls to be able to get food to eat.
“There was a man who told me I was very ugly and that day I was hurt and I cried. Even my cousins would tell me I was ugly that’s why men didn’t like me, I wanted to commit suicide. I never knew I could become like this, God had a purpose for my life,” she concluded.
