Its Hurtful To Link My Success To Men, I Work Hard To Make Every Single Dime – Skit Maker, Ashmusy
A skit maker, Amarachi Amosi, aka Ashmusy, says she feels hurt whenever her success is linked to men.
She said: “Linking a woman’s success to men can be annoying and hurtful. That is the reason I want to rebrand myself. It can be hurtful when a young girl works so hard, and all her efforts are linked to a man.
“After I reflected on everything I had been doing so far, from my dressing to my videos, I decided to correct them by changing that narrative. I am still an entertainer and I still have to entertain in some way, but it will be done in a better way.”
“The idea of rebranding myself has been in my head since 2022, but I just wanted to be sure I was ready; and also I wanted clear all my pending deals. I felt the need to leave that stage for another one.
“Covering up myself (in outfits) is a part of my rebranding. I hated the fact that a man was said to be the source of my success. That narrative was hurtful, because I know how hard I work to make every single dime. I will ascribe my success to God, consistency and hard work.”
Speaking on the impact she had made since she rebranded herself, she said, “The impacts range from the fact that the way I speak and dress are now more articulate and decent. I am upgrading in that aspect. I also have a girls’ empowerment programme coming up where I get to train girls for free to build their careers.”
Asked what makes her proud of herself, she said, “I have been able to build myself to a certain level in every aspect without having to depend on any man. My family has been supportive too.”
