Singer, Flavour‘s baby mama, Anna Banner has opened up about the travails of single mothers.
The former Beauty Queen, who has a daughter for Flavor, took to her Instagram story to comment on the discrimination and stigma single mothers face.
She avowed that people donât talk on the stigma single mothers go through, how they are being judged, and the discrimination they face, especially from most brands.
Defending all single mothers, Anna Banner stated that it isnât a disease. She wrote:
âNo one talks about the stigma that comes with being a single mom! Itâs quite sad. People judge you before meeting you. Being a single mom isnât a disease my dear. Single moms also experience discrimination from most brands! Yes! I said it!â
Last year, Anna opened up on being suicidal at some point in her life. Opening up in a series of post on Instagram, she wrote:
âFor almost 6 years now, I have had sad birthday experiencesâŠit was pretty frustrating but I was advised to always wear a smile to cover up the pain and sadness.
We donât have it all figured out. I was suicidal at some point in my life, I never knew depression was real until I experienced it. It wasnât pretty at all. I was ashamed of my body, some decisions I made, I lost my self confidence, I literally lost myself, I screamed silently for help but no one but God could hear me!
And yes we post beautiful pictures just to feel good sometimes. We post family perfect pictures to but we struggle to sleep at night! Behind the social media doorsâŠI had a beautiful baby girl at 20 (unmarried, young and a school drop out) and 5 years later, I am a graduate.
I thought about quitting school so many timesâŠ.trust me I didnât care anymore, it was too much for me to handle. mentally I was exhausted, at some point my daughter couldnât recognise me, she called her GRANDMA MUMMY INSTEAD, I WAS SHATTEREDâŠ
My birthday this year is a huge reminder of how I have been able to pull throughâŠI felt like I have been caged for almost 6 years of my lifeâŠâ.
