She chose to use her story of being shamed
for getting pregnant as an actress, and the stories of many other women, to
highlight that pregnant women across the world are regularly treated less
favourably due to their pregnancies or intended pregnancies.
The mom of two recently took to Instagram to
pen a heartfelt message, quoting a verse from the Bible to her new baby boy as
she introduced him to the world.
“Hear, my son, your father's instruction,
and forsake not your mother's teaching, for they are a graceful garland for
your head and pendants for your neck,” she wrote.
The former Scandal! actress further added
that as she introduces her son to the world, she wants him to be exactly the
person God intended him to be.
“As I introduce you to the world, where you
are coming to make a difference, to be exactly what God intended for you to be,
I'm reminded of the story below.”
She also reveals that the pregnancy was not
easy, but she endured because she was excited to meet her son.
"It wasnt the easiest of pregnancies
but I did not despair, I waited patiently for my king to arrive, and now he is
here. Shhhhh , did you hear that? The sound of a KING landing, he is going to
be GREAT, he is going to be a LEADER, the HEAD and not the tail and a respected
MAN. The world was never ready," she wrote.
