'I've been stereotyped all my life' - Hilda Baci recounts personal ordeals

Renowned Nigerian chef and entrepreneur Hilda Effiong Bassey widely known as Hilda Baci has discussed the challenges she had growing up with a particular preconception.

The Guinness World Record holder discussed the challenges that powerful women like herself frequently face as a result of misconceptions.

On Cool FM's Big Friday broadcast, Hlda opened up on this in a private conversation with influencer and former Big Brother Naija housemate Tacha.

Given her position as a prominent and varied woman, Tacha specifically asked Hilda about her own experiences with stereotypes during the interview.

Tacha inquired: “Like girls like us, we look very cute, and we’re putting in the work or making money, but most people decide to be blind towards that. Like, do you get stereotyped?”

Hilda answered by sharing her own encounters with stereotypes.

She said: “Oh yes. All my life. I have been stereotyped all my life. More now. More now than before. I remember a particular award where I was like…they didn’t think that I had, you know, much to offer. I don’t know if that makes any sense.”
