Ayomide's breasts were ironed at a very young age which according to the mother, was to ward off men from abusing her by creating an illusion her breasts weren't fully developed like 'that of an adult. It's so sad that these practices are still carried out in this 21st century. I also shared my friend's experience undergoing breast ironing at a young age as well. I'd love to listen to your thoughts on Ayomide's story. Please drop a voice message through any of these links: https://anchor.fm/viola-the-radio-nerd/message or www.podpage.com/calm-down-podcast. Your voice messages will be featured in a subsequent episode of the podcast.
