Telco dropped me because I was pregnant – Yvonne Nelson

Actress Yvonne Nelson has revealed that a telecommunication company dropped her from being its ambassador because she was pregnant.

The actress narrated how she was broken and hurt as she was just about three months away from delivering her baby.

Before she was dropped, Ms Nelson said she was ready to shoot an ad for the company.

The actress opened up following reports of a female MP in Kenya, Zuleikha Hassan, who was removed from the chamber after walking into the chamber with a five-month-old baby.

She said the situation nearly broke her down but pushed on to become a good mother.

She wrote:

“I’ll tell you mine, a telecommunication company dropped me because i came clean and told them i was pregnant, they wanted me to shoot an ad, told them i had 3 months more to go and assured them I could come to work right after!

“Guess what, the lady who called didn’t even say congrats she said ‘sorry yvonne, the dynamics will change’ i was hurt! I was broken! All these and more made me stronger!! IM PROUD TO BE A MOTHER!!!! Best decision ever! I will forever WIN!!!!! #proudmum #woman.”
