While planning her profession, she also considered the important subject of marriage.
According to Juliet Njemanze, she had a traumatic childhood filled with physical and sexual abuse which affected her mental health.
“Basically, I didn’t have a fun childhood. I had a really traumatic childhood filled with emotional, mental, physical and sexual abuse. That’s why I am a mental health advocate because I know how much damage my childhood did to my mind, and how hard I am working not to allow the experience dictate the kind of person I turn out to be. I have a strong will power.”
“If I don’t have a strong will power, I would have become a rascal and blamed it on the things that happened to me as a child. But I chose to be a better person despite everything that life has thrown at me at a very young age when I didn’t understand anything. It’s sad but it’s okay, we all have our stories.”
“The thought of marriage scares me because of the stories I hear of marriages, and honestly, it’s because of my own parents’ marriage”, she added.
