Rashaka, who openly stated that she does not want children, said she feels fulfilled and in control of her life choices.

“I will be celebrating 1 year after getting my fallopian tubes surgically removed (Salpingectomy). I am living my wildest dreams. I am living the life I definitely imagined when I was an 18-year-old girl.”
Personal Reflection
She further described herself as someone living life on her own terms, free from societal, cultural, or external pressure.
“I am definitely my ancestors’ wildest dreams, a lady with options and able to choose for herself, not forced by conditions, culture or pressure but able to choose,” she wrote.
Rashaka added that her decision reflects her personal happiness, even if it is not widely accepted by society.
“This is important because I chose what is frowned upon most of the time. I chose me and me alone. I became selfish for my happiness and that’s one great accomplishment,” she added.
