A US-based Nigerian lady considers leaving her relationship with boyfriend because he is ashamed to tell his parents that she’s an artist by profession.
The US-based artist identified as Uzoart on Twitter revealed that she had asked her boyfriend whether he intends to introduce her as an artist to his family.
He told that he would tell them that she’s an entrepreneur, shutting down her suggestion to be introduced as an artist.
According to her, she grew up having to defend her profession and that there’s no way she’d be with a partner who is ashamed to tell people that she does art for a living.
See her tweet below;
This guy was talking about introducing me to his parents. I asked what would you tell them my occupation is? He said an entrepreneur. I asked why not an artist and he told me to be serious.

Like I get how close minded some people are, but there is no way you can be my partner if you’re ashamed to tell people I’m an artist.
