Nigerian chef and entrepreneur Hilda Baci recently opened up about how her journey toward financial independence has profoundly changed her outlook on love and relationships.
In a candid reflection on her past, Baci acknowledged that her earlier perceptions of love were often intertwined with financial difficulties. She stated, “What I once mistook for love was often influenced by financial struggles.”
Now a thriving businesswoman with multiple ventures, Baci has come to understand that not all expressions of love are authentic. “Some are merely a means to escape poverty,” she explained.
Emphasizing the importance of economic empowerment for women, Baci asserted that financial independence is crucial for achieving personal aspirations and fostering true self-confidence. “Earning my own money allowed me to enter spaces where I once felt unwelcome,” she said, highlighting how her newfound economic power shifted her view of love from a necessity to a freely made choice, unencumbered by conditions or dependence.
Baci stressed that financial independence not only offers women freedom but also enables them to live life on their own terms. “The true essence of liberation is in living, loving, and creating opportunities for others to do the same,” she remarked.
