According to her, genuine concern for children could also involve questioning whether it is fair to bring them into a world filled with hardship and uncertainty.
“You know the craziest thing about loving children? I feel like if you really love children, you wouldn’t want to bring them into the world,” she said.
The actress pointed to the struggles many people face daily, suggesting that life’s challenges often make people question their existence.
“Are you not suffering today? Have you not seen me today? Is Earth not ghetto? Are you not going through a lot? Don’t you wish some days that you were not born?” she asked.
Although Isime did not explicitly state whether she intends to have children in the future, her comments have sparked conversations online about parenthood, personal choice and the responsibilities that come with raising children in today’s world.
The actress is known for openly sharing her views on social issues, relationships and personal growth, often encouraging discussions among her fans and followers.
