On an episode of the CreativiTEA podcast, she discussed her anxiety about being in the public eye.
Isime shared that the pressure from public and media scrutiny made her anxious. She noted how popular blogs often comment on celebrities, which intensified her worries. “I was actually very scared of the limelight. When I started working, I used to see how a popular blog would pick random stories about famous people, and people would give unsolicited opinions. It seemed like it was okay to do that, but I was already worried about fame. I was just a kid who wanted to work,” she said.
She also mentioned that her desire for financial independence drove her to pursue her career. Coming from a modest background, Isime was motivated to earn her own income and avoid relying on others. “I have always been the child who saw herself making her own money; maybe because I came from a humble background where asking for anything felt like a taboo. You just knew there wasn’t any money. I am a huge believer in spending on myself, because I don’t want anyone to feel like without them, I wouldn’t have the life I have,” she added.” 📎
