Raising a Child Takes a Village, Says Single Mom Tiwa Savage

Nigerian Afrobeat star Tiwa Savage has recently opened up about the challenges and rewards of raising her nine-year-old son, Jamil, as a single mother while balancing a demanding music career.

During an appearance on The Big Friday Show, hosted by former BBNaija star Tacha, Tiwa also discussed her upcoming album and the crucial role her family plays in her life.

Tiwa highlighted the unwavering support of her mother and a trusted nanny who has been by her side since Jamil was an infant.

“It takes a village,” Tiwa shared. “Raising my son as a single mum, I always need my mum. I call on my mum; she’s very instrumental, and we have a nanny that has been with us since he was three months old, and he’s nine now, so she has been with us for nine years.”

Expressing her gratitude, Tiwa spoke warmly of her mother’s constant care, sharing how her mother still checks on her daily, urging her to eat well, rest, and stay hydrated, even at her age.

“I look at my mum, and she still mothers me at this age. She still calls to ask if I’ve eaten and tells me to drink lots of water and rest. When she sees things online, she still worries about me at my big age. Our jobs don’t end,” she reflected.

Tiwa also spoke about the strength of women in balancing various roles, noting how she manages to be both a dedicated mother and a successful artist.

“For me, I think as women we can juggle lots of things at once; that’s our superpower. I can literally be a full-time mum and a full-time career woman,” she said.

Oscar Nominee Teri Garr Passes Away at 79

Published

on

Oscar-nominated actress Teri Garr, best known for her standout roles in Young Frankenstein, Tootsie, and Mr. Mom, has passed away at 79.

Her manager, Marc Gurvitz, confirmed her passing on Tuesday in Los Angeles. Garr had been managing a lengthy struggle with multiple sclerosis (MS), a battle she publicly acknowledged over two decades ago to support awareness for others with the condition.

In 2002, she opened up about her experience with MS in an interview with CNN, saying, “I think everybody is scared and frightened when they hear something like that.”

Garr recounted her frustration before receiving a diagnosis, having seen 11 doctors over the years and experiencing unexplained symptoms.

“That’s because there’s so much – you know, there’s not a lot of information out there about it,” she explained. “And a lot of people don’t know that it’s not that bad. I mean, I’m going on with my life.”

Born into an entertainment family, Garr was the daughter of a Broadway performer and a Radio City Rockette.

Growing up in Los Angeles, she trained in dance from a young age and launched her career in show business shortly after high school. She initially appeared as a dancer and extra in projects like Elvis Presley’s Viva Las Vegas.

Reflecting on those early days, Garr once remarked, “I finally asked myself, Why am I not in the front? I didn’t study all those years to be in the back and get no money.”

The 1970s became Garr’s breakthrough era, with frequent appearances on popular television shows such as The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour, The New Dick Van Dyke Show, The Odd Couple, and The Bob Newhart Show.

Her distinctive talent and versatility in comedy and drama brought her critical acclaim, and her performance in Tootsie earned her an Academy Award nomination.
