Toke Makinwa is surely a humanistic representation of Sia’s lines in the song “Titanium”: “You shoot me down, but I won’t fall; I am Titanium.” Hers is a life that resonates with every part of that lyric.
From going through a messy divorce to building a sustainable brand and finally becoming a household name that everyone wants to reckon with, Toke is indeed titanium; a testament that circumstances shouldn’t define people’s outcomes.
As she clocks 40 and reminisces about life, the stunning actress expressed concerns about how she’s 40 without a child and isn’t bothered by it.
“I’m 40, single, and childless. I said it, and I did not die. I used to think, how am I forty and I don’t have a child? If I’m to be completely honest, if I had gotten married again, I would have divorced because the lessons never end. I’m grateful for where I am. Sometimes, you need to sit with your truth; you can’t shame the shameless. I am forty, and I’m a boss. I’ve built an empire, and I’m not waking up miserable. I’m not always going to be childless because what I desire, desires me too.”
