During her daughter Priscilla’s baby shower that took place over the weekend in Canada, Iyabo highlighted the importance of intentional parenting and making positive affirmations.
The actress urged mothers to liberate themselves from the belief that negative patterns from their past will inevitably affect their children.
She motivated women to use faith and positive affirmations to break these negative cycles and build a brighter future, stressing the importance of identifying and overcoming ancestral curses.
As a mother of two, she stated, “At times, you must make significant sacrifices for your children. You have to reflect on the fact that to be here today, to have this baby, I made that choice, and whatever the outcome, whether good or bad, it is not a burden for my children to bear, and I will never deny my children their blessings.
“When mothers carry the weight of pain and hardship and pass it on to their children, they rob them of certain opportunities. There exists something known as ancestral curses; you cannot break them if you are perpetuating them. To break free, you must put an end to it and stop the cycle.
