Gifty Anti, Ghanaian Journalist and Host of the Standpoint show, shared a personal and emotional experience on the GTV Breakfast Show, revealing a moment when she felt like a “terrible mother”.
She received an email from her daughter’s teacher reminding her to ensure her daughter brings her spelling book to school, which made her realise she was unaware of an upcoming spelling test her daughter had the following day.
Gifty Anti broke down in tears, feeling guilty for prioritising her career over her daughter’s needs. However, her daughter’s reassuring words, “Mommy, you’re not a bad mother… I’ll remind you next time,” comforted her.
Gifty Anti emphasised the importance of vulnerability, saying, “It’s okay to let people know our vulnerabilities… that is the spirit of resilience.” She encouraged others to embrace their scars, saying, “Your scars will someday become your stars.” Despite facing challenges, Gifty Anti continues to persevere, inspiring others with her story.
