A popular Ghanaian media personality, MzGee, has recounted the various forms of abuse and cyberbullying she endured during her years of childlessness.
According to her, random people on the internet said painful things to her during the course of her work.
She noted that some persons were audacious enough to even enter her inbox on social media to dish out unwarranted advice and hurl insults at her sometimes.
Speaking during the ‘Stronger Together Women’s Health Conference’ on March 8, 2025, at the University of Ghana Medical Centre, she said, “Some people even entered my DMs to insult me and say all sorts of things. If I type the word barren in my dms right now, you’d be amazed at the number of messages that will pop up.”
MzGee further asked people to be gracious to women who are striving to have children of their own.
According to her, women are saddled with so many reproductive issues that render them incapable of conceiving or carrying their pregnancies to full term.
She recounted her experiences while noting that her faith in God was her anchor in difficult times.
MzGee, who announced her pregnancy and delivery later in January 2025, noted that she gave birth at age 39, an age that many may deem too old.
“What have the doctors said, what are you saying to yourself, what are you doing about it, what has God said about your situation? she advised.
She added that after asking these questions, the answer should clear the path for one to know the best way to handle their situation.
The Stronger Together Women’s Health Conference was organised by media personality Adwoa Amofa Osei on International Women’s Day on the theme ‘Bold Conversations on Women’s Health’.
The conference brought together medical professionals and women with various backgrounds to open up about issues that women face in the area of their health.
Participants of the conference noted that the experience was worth it and looked forward to it happening again.
The said the space allowed for vulnerability and served as a platform for learning and hearing stories that matter.
