Manal’s Candid Talk

In a candid Instagram video, Manal shares her inspiring journey of motherhood while doing her makeup. 

She reflects on her experience from that pivotal moment when she discovered she was pregnant to where she is today. 

As a Moroccan singer, Manal has dedicated over a decade to her craft, showcasing her growth in both style and music throughout her career. 

Her international breakthrough came with the hit song “SLAY” featuring El Grande Toto, which marked the beginning of her ascent in the industry. 

Since then, she has skillfully managed the hype surrounding her, continuously producing music and making public appearances. 

Meeting the love of her life, her husband Moncef, at a Music Festival in Marrakesh cemented their commitment to personal and professional growth together.

While Manal always had a fondness for children, she never imagined herself as overly maternal. 

Although she enjoyed seeing babies, she believed she wasn't meant to be a mother. This changed when a visit to the pharmacy revealed her birth control pills would no longer be available. 

She saw this as a sign at a time when she felt secure in her life, having built a home and achieving financial stability. 

When she confirmed her pregnancy with her doctor, joy and contentment filled her heart. Despite facing challenges during her pregnancy, Manal opens up about the trials of breastfeeding, stating, “Breastfeeding is the hardest experience of my life.” 

Her respect and admiration for mothers have grown immensely, and she extends her congratulations to every woman who has navigated similar challenges or worse.

It's vital to raise awareness and prepare young girls for the various aspects of pregnancy, including the physical and mental changes they may encounter. Gaining knowledge about such experiences can be comforting, and it's beautiful that celebrities like Manal share and discuss their personal journeys.
