Stage actress and vocalist, Yinka Davies has
opened up on the effect of her son’s death on her.
Davies lost her son, Jeremiah, on January 28, 2021. He was 27 at the
time of his death.
Speaking in her interview with Sunday Scoop, the singer said while his
passing made her go through a terrible experience she was consoled he lived a
fulfilled life.
She said: “We are having his memorial today (January 29). It is a year
today since we lost him. It has been a blessing and we thank God for grace to
have fathered and mothered such a beautiful boy. It was tough but I thank God
he lived (a fulfilled life).”
When questioned on her reason for becoming a stage actress she replied
that it was based on passion.
She said: “I guess it was because of the love I had for it. I just
wanted to be a fine artist but I was too distracted because I was doing fine
arts, theatre and dancing. I was enjoying it and I helped set up the stage too.
So, it was just one time I said I wanted to be an actor. My journey has been a
good one. I am grateful for the opportunity given to me to be part of people’s
lives.”
