Popular media personality Toke Makinwa has opened up about navigating life and public scrutiny. She recently had her say while speaking with reality TV star Tacha on her show “Toke Moments.”

According to her, no one has the rule book for living life, so she intends to keep figuring things out as the days roll by.

Toke added that she has never seen herself as perfect, so she’ll definitely make more mistakes.

Her words, “I am still going to make so many more mistakes.

People don’t understand that we are people who are actually just figuring these things out. We are literally just figuring out life as we go. No one has the rule book. No one has ever lived before. Every new day, as I say to people, is an opportunity to learn something new about yourself. And it’s so funny, the pressure that they put out there. It’s just alarming.

I am the first person to say, listen, I am still going to make so many more mistakes. I will still fall flat on my face. The difference is that I have the courage to do it, while you all are watching.”

WOW.
