- Tiwa Savage, an award-winning singer, has urged for increased love, kindness, and self-acceptance, particularly in a world dominated by social media.
- Savage discussed how social media can distort reality, causing pressure and insecurity, and urged users to live more authentically by shifting their focus inward.
Award-winning singer Tiwa Savage has called for more love, kindness, and self-awareness in a world increasingly shaped by the pressures of social media.
Speaking in a recent interview with Dose of Society, the Afrobeats star opened up about the unrealistic standards often portrayed online, emphasizing how these illusions can affect self-esteem and mental health.
“My message to the world is that we need to show a bit more love,” she said. “Especially when we look at social media, I just see things that are make-believe. We all know it’s not real, but we’re still putting pressure on ourselves when all we need to do is love a little bit more.”
Tiwa reminded her audience that social media only shows curated moments of people’s lives. She encouraged fans to gain perspective, appreciate themselves more, and focus on living authentically and in the present.
Reflecting on what she would tell her younger self, Savage advised trusting the process, staying persistent, and taking ownership of one’s journey.
“Figure it out, get up and figure it out. I know you think everyone has the manual for life. The only thing you owe yourself is to wake up, be present and try. Even if you fail or win, you’d figure it out. Nobody has your life; we may have examples and templates and people we look up to, but nobody has your exact dreams, so figure it out for yourself. If god wakes me up, I have an opportunity to figure it out”, she said.
