Media personality Toke Makinwa has opened up about her silent battle with deep depression, revealing that even while achieving major milestones, she was quietly fighting emotional struggles.
She shared how she once drove aimlessly for hours, breaking down in tears and even praying for God to “just call her home.” Toke admitted she often masked her emptiness with laughter at public events while secretly dealing with failed attempts at motherhood.
She also recalled how a cruel tweet about her personal life cut her deeply. However, everything changed after she surrendered in prayer last December.
“I remember this particular tweet where somebody tweeted at me. I don’t know how they found out my personal business, but the person wrote online that this is why your two IVFs had failed. Nothing has caught me in my life as much as that tweet. Jesus. I’m not crying because you motherfuckers deserve my tears. But it made me go back to God and say, look at me.”
Just days later, on the 17th, a call from her doctor brought the breakthrough she had long prayed for.
