Nollywood actress Adunni Ade has opened up about how she successfully balances her career and her responsibilities as a mother in a recent interview with Hip TV.
The single mother of two boys emphasized the importance of prioritizing her children while managing her demanding career. “Balancing your life is something you have to do as a parent. There is no thinking. You have to be able to provide and cater to your children no matter what industry you find yourself in. Whether you’re a doctor, actor, or architect… you just have to find that balance,” she explained.
While passionate about her work, Adunni stressed that her children always come first. “My kids will always come first, so I’m very careful with how I schedule projects. I do not miss anything that has to do with their schooling, whether it’s an open day, visiting day, a program, or even inter-house sports, I will be there. My kids will always have my full attention, and when it comes to work, work will take care of itself.”
For parents who struggle to find balance, she offered practical advice, “I took my kids to boarding school, which is something to consider. Or, have good, trustworthy family members or persons who can be there during the short period of time you’re away for work. But never neglect your kids.”
