Media personality Toke Makinwa has courageously shared her deeply personal battle with depression, revealing that even while achieving major successes, she faced overwhelming emotional struggles.
Toke recounted moments of profound sadness, including driving for hours without direction, only to find herself crying uncontrollably without fully realizing why. She also opened up about a time when she begged God to “just call her home,” all while masking her pain with laughter at public events.
“You know, literally, I’ve got it all together,” she confessed. “But I didn’t share the fact that I had a couple of failed attempts trying to become a mom.”
Her vulnerability continued as she spoke about a hurtful tweet that struck her deeply. Someone had publicly commented on her failed IVF attempts, saying, “This is why your two IVFs had failed.” Toke admitted that no other comment had impacted her as much.
“That tweet made me go back to God and say, look at me,” she said. “I’m not crying because you people deserve my tears, but it was a moment of reflection.”
Toke’s story took a hopeful turn after a simple prayer of surrender in December. Shortly after, on the 17th, she received a call from her doctor that brought the breakthrough she had been longing for marking a new chapter in her journey.
