Businesswoman Huddah Monroe has found herself in hot water after advising women to sell their bodies, a suggestion that has been met with disapproval from her mother.
According to Huddah, her mother was upset after reading about her comments in the newspaper, which she felt were misleading and could be damaging to women.
In a statement, Huddah explained that she was trying to convey a message about the importance of financial independence and self-sufficiency, but her words were misinterpreted.
'My mum just called me saying she read in the newspaper that I said people should sell their py and she is saying it is not a good thing,' Huddah said. 'Of course, it is not a good thing, but there are people out here who know I am very generous. Especially with money. And people take that as a sign of weakness because they can keep borrowing me.'
However, Huddah's mother was not convinced by her explanation, and her comments have sparked a heated debate about the importance of financial responsibility and the impact of words on women.
