Renowned Nigerian author, Chimamanda Adichie, has stated that she decided to share personal details about having her twin boys so other Nigerian women dealing with infertility will not feel pressured.
Speaking during the debut live edition of the #WithChude talk show on Sunday, the 47-year-old author explained that she hoped her openness would ease the societal pressure many women face regarding fertility.
The award-winning writer, who is married to a medical doctor, Ivara Esege, stressed the need to dismantle the culture of shame that surrounds women’s reproductive health and fertility challenges.
