Radio broadcaster and fashion entrepreneur, Toke Makinwa has advised fans to see themselves as work in progress and learn from their mistakes.
The OAP said this in a series of tweets on Friday, September 11 while also advising parents to stop putting pressure on to live a certain way because she is role model to their daughter.
She explained that the pressure placed on her to be a role model has to stop because she is a human being who is bound to make errors.
The author expressed that she has accepted her flaws and have come to learn and move past them.
Makinwa tweeted;
Guys I gotta get this off my chest, pls stop calling me your role model, I am no ones role model, me sef I am looking for “role model”. The pressure of my kids love you and you are their role model has to stop. Raise your kids to see themselves as a work in progress.

Makinwa expressed that she is imperfect and is bound to make mistakes like everyone else.
If a part of my life inspires you, by all means use it as a guideline to be better, pls I am also trying out this thing called life. I am not perfect, I will disappoint you with no apologies. I disappoint myself too, the difference is I get up and move on.

The fashion entrepreneur noted that she has accepted her flaws and is therefore not under any pressure to follow a certain standard in order to be a proper role model.
I accept my flaws all, I am under no pressure to fit into your ideal of what perfection looks like, I am figuring me out too. Pls be inspired but don’t pressure me to be a “role model”, I love my loud, goofy, silly and witty self too much to submit to your standard.

The radio presenter concluded by reiterating that she will not always make smart decision but that she is willing to live and learn from her mistakes.
To summarize all I’ve said, I will still fuck up plenty, I will make not so smart decisions, I’m willing to live and learn and not put up a font of perfection. Stop with the pressure, I won’t live up to your expectations and I’m at peace on my pace ✌️
