Sonia Mbele speaks on motherhood
Sonia Mbele’s strength is admirable.
She recently spoke to DJ Sbu on being raised by a single mother, and the strength she got from it. The same she is using in raising her own children.
“I was raised by single women. You know our mothers don’t play. They used to wake me up at five, we’d open the curtains, wash the windows. We were raised from a different era. There was no time for slacking, there was no time for sleeping, so obviously, that is instilled in your pedigree. You become that person, you need to wake up, so I think it started then it just became a part of who I am.
“As a mother, I do my best. There comes a time when during the day, especially the holiday time, I open the doors and I’m like: ‘everybody, out of my house, go play right now. I don’t want anybody in the house, go play, amuse yourself, find something to do, I don’t care what it is, just don’t…’ “I don’t want them to be cooped up. I don’t want them to be narrow-minded, I just wanna open their eyes and open their mind’s eyes,” Sonia said.
