In recent news, the popular singer Simi has taken a strong stand against a female pastor's controversial advice about women's natural hair. During a sermon, the pastor suggested that women should abandon their natural locks in favor of wigs and weaves, claiming it's necessary for a polished appearance. She implied that after marriage, some women tend to neglect their personal grooming and opt for the convenience of their natural hair. While trying to boost women's confidence and appearance, her message seemed critical of those who choose to embrace their natural hair.
Singer Simi, known for her outspoken views on social media, couldn't stay silent in response to this message. She pointed out the societal issues of self-hate, such as the prevalence of skin-lightening products in regions with beautiful dark-skinned women. Now, there are also people advocating against the love of natural hair. Simi argued that it's not a matter of people not being good enough; it's the external pressures and societal standards that make them feel inadequate. She emphasized that the female pastor, as a role model, should encourage self-love and self-acceptance, but her message seemed to promote the opposite.
Simi's response comes after her previous revelation of her life philosophy, focusing on taking each day as it comes, avoiding obsession with things beyond her control, and being grateful for her blessings and the opportunity to pursue her dreams.
Additionally, in April, Simi celebrated her 35th birthday, and her husband Adekunle expressed his heartfelt sentiments, emphasizing their strong bond and appreciation for loved ones in their lives.
Even when you hide self hate inside "good advice", it's still self hate. This is why 90% of skincare products in countries full of beautiful dark skin girls/women are "whitening creams". And girls are told that the hair that grows out of their hair is not special enough. It's not… https://t.co/MPll6mWTx1
