(Video) Remy Ma Plans to Start Fund for Women Who Can’t Conceive Naturally
Earlier this year, 2017 ESSENCE Fest artist Remy Ma gave fans and the world a first-hand look at her painful experience with miscarrying a child on a heartbreaking episode of Love and Hip Hop New York.
In an interview with Essences series, Citizens of Woke Wonderland, the rapper said that after she had a painful miscarriage this past January, she learned that she’s still able to bear children, however, she can’t do it naturally. Although she’s in the position to afford the cost of getting help to conceive more children, she quickly realized that many women in similar situations are not in the financial position to do so.
“I was distraught, I was embarrassed, I was ashamed,” Remy admitted. “I felt less than a woman and [the doctor] assured me that was no way to feel and that for a certain amount of thousands of dollars, it can be fixed. And because I have the finances, I never even thought twice about it. I was like, ‘Alright, how many thousand? Okay, no problem We’ll start doing it right now.’”
