A member of the renowned Kuti family has spoken candidly about stepping back from activism, citing concerns about personal sacrifice and the toll it can take on loved ones.
Speaking on the concept of selflessness, the individual expressed caution:
“Selflessness—I’m very careful with that. Giving and getting nothing in return.”
Reflecting on the legacy of the Kuti family—widely respected for its historic activism and contributions to social justice—the speaker added:
“I’m of the opinion that we [Kuti’s family] have done enough already. And I’ve really no interest in activism.”
Though proud to align with progressive causes, the individual emphasized the importance of balance and protecting personal well-being.
“I’m happy to be on the right side of history, but not at the cost of the wellbeing of my family and the people around me.”
The remarks highlight a growing sentiment among public figures who seek to redefine their roles beyond activism, focusing instead on sustainability and personal peace.
