In a recent development that has sparked quite a bit of controversy, singer Simi has taken a bold stance against a female pastor’s advice to women regarding their natural hair.
The female pastor, during a sermon, advised women to forego their natural locks in favor of wigs and weaves, arguing that it’s essential to maintain a polished appearance. She suggested that some women, after getting married, tend to neglect their personal grooming and opt for the convenience of their natural hair.
The pastor, standing at the pulpit and showcasing her own long, luxurious wig, emphasized that women should invest more in wigs, stating that natural hair is of no advantage. While her intention may have been to encourage women to feel confident and put-together, her message came across as critical of those who choose to embrace their natural hair.
Singer Simi, known for her vocal opinions and active presence on social media, couldn’t remain silent in the face of this message. She spoke out on the self hate in the society. She pointed out that a significant portion of skincare products in regions with beautiful dark-skinned women consists of whitening creams, reflecting a prevailing narrative that encourages people to be dissatisfied with their natural skin tone. Now, there are also individuals 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 tell them they’re not. She emphasized that the female pastor, being a figure at the pulpit, ought to serve as a role model for many. However, the message she conveyed seemed to encourage practices that don’t promote self-love or self-acceptance.
Notably, back in August, Simi revealed a significant aspect of her personal philosophy. She shared her outlook on life, emphasizing her commitment to taking each day as it comes. She mentioned that she avoids obsessing over things beyond her control and doesn’t chase after what isn’t meant for her. She expressed gratitude for her blessings and her ability to pursue her dreams to the fullest.
In April, Simi celebrated her 35th birthday, and her husband, Adekunle, expressed his heartfelt sentiments in a touching message. He emphasized how fortunate he was to be married to someone who understands his career and work ethic. Simi’s birthday was a moment of gratitude, as she cherished the presence of loved ones who surround her.
