Nigerian actress Temitope Osoba just hit 40 after beating cancer, and she posted some fire portraits on Instagram talking about how the whole experience completely rewired her brain. She went through years of being terrified and not sleeping, but she says surviving made her tougher while also teaching her that life can disappear in a second.
The cancer treatment came with a brutal side effect when doctors told her at 38 that the meds would block her from getting pregnant for at least five years. That news wrecked her since it meant motherhood would get pushed into her mid-40s if it happened at all. She calls turning 40 a straight-up miracle and victory rather than just another birthday.
