What it takes to be a good wife, mother – Influencer Demure

Social media influencer and entrepreneur, Nneamaka Oghenetejiri Solomon, popularly known as Demure, is redefining motherhood, career, and intentional living. With a growing audience of over 262,000 followers on Instagram and 66,400 on TikTok, Demure has become a leading voice in lifestyle, fashion, and parenting.

In a recent chat with Saturday Sun, Demure shared her perspectives on what it means to be a good mother and wife, the challenges of being a public figure, and the importance of independence for women.

According to her, “Being a good mother means nurturing, guiding, and protecting your child. Being a good wife requires partnership, compromise, and emotional investment. A woman should not feel pressured to fit into both roles if one does not serve her,” she stated.

On the societal expectations placed on women, she emphasized that many mothers struggle with guilt for wanting more beyond motherhood and marriage. “A lot of women have big dreams but have been conditioned to shrink themselves. Some are waiting for permission that may never come. You can be a great mother and still go after your dreams,” she said.

A devoted single mother to her son, Firefunmi, Demure seamlessly balances parenthood with her professional pursuits.
