South Sudanese social media personality Sarah Tut is making waves after delivering a passionate message urging young Sudanese and South Sudanese women to rethink early motherhood.
Her comments, shared in a viral social media post, have ignited heated discussions on cultural expectations, personal responsibility, and breaking generational cycles of poverty and trauma.
In her video, Tut did not hold back as she addressed young women directly, cautioning them against having children before achieving financial and emotional stability:
“Okay y’all, this is for the South Sudanese girls and young women. Please stop getting pregnant. I promise you that having that baby is not going to make your life easier. It’s not going to make whatever man it is that’s treating you terribly give you commitment. If anything, it’s going to make him treat you worse because he knows he was able to get you to sacrifice your body and your life to give him a baby even though he gave you the bare minimum.”
Tut continued, stressing the importance of self-improvement before bringing children into the world. She said:
“And it’s crazy because a lot of us come from the same background, and yet instead of trying to break those generational curses of poverty and trauma, you’re having another child and just continuing the cycle. Heal yourself first, get your career together. Some of y’all don’t even have a car. You don’t have a stable job but you’re popping out babies. I’m sorry if it sounds harsh but it’s just the truth.”
Her remarks have been met with mixed reactions.
While many agreed with her stance, others pushed back, arguing that motherhood is a personal choice and should not be framed solely in economic terms.
Among the responses, some comments stood out:
- “Facts.”
- “Wow, so many people have been traumatized by their parents and partners.”
- “Louder in the back
.” - “Women WORLDWIDE!
” - “She said this is for a certain girl. If you are not that girl, why are you here? Y’all love stopping by pages and leaving comments that have nothing to do with you. YEAH YOU.”
The conversation sparked by Tut’s statements touches on deeper issues of gender roles, economic independence, and the challenges many young women face when navigating relationships and societal expectations.
