<p><em>"My story about finding love and ultimately marrying a man I love at an age that most Africans consider old was vigorously discussed, to my amusement, on social media pages,"</em> she said.</p>

<p>She highlighted how she was pressured and consistently questioned by people who reminded her that she was getting older.</p>

<p><em>"On one&nbsp;hand, it was heartening to witness the overwhelming support, love and excitement from women across Africa and it was beautiful. And even as we celebrated, glimpses of resistance emerged from certain quarters, notably from self-appointed gatekeepers of African culture,"</em> she said.</p>
