Nigerian Chef, Hilda Baci, has revealed her difficulties growing up with a certain stereotype.
Hilda Baci talked about the difficulties successful women like her frequently encounter as a result of misconceptions.
She shared this during an intimate conversation with influencer and former Big Brother Naija housemate, Tacha on Cool FM’s Big Friday show.
During the interview, Tacha questioned Hilda about her personal experiences with stereotypes, particularly given her status as a successful and diverse woman.
Tacha asked,
“Like girls like us, we look very cute, and we’re putting in the work or making money, but most people decide to be blind towards that. Like, do you get stereotyped?”
Hilda replied by disclosing her own personal experiences with stereotypes.
She said,
“Oh yes. All my life. I have been stereotyped all my life. More now. More now than before. I remember a particular award where I was like…they didn’t think that I had, you know, much to offer. I don’t know if that makes any sense.”
