Amadou Elizabeth Aminata, better known by her TikToker username Jarvis, is a Nigerian content producer who has spoken out about her difficult upbringing, including being "forced" to work when she was very young.
The actress, who was born in Edo, detailed her days of working odd jobs to make money meet and her lone encounter with workplace robbery.
It may be difficult for her to fully embrace her femininity, she speculated, because of her early exposure to rigorous labour.
Jarvis recently made the statement, "At a young age, I became a man," while speaking during a TikTok livestream. I guess that's why I have a hard time pretending to be a lady.
I started working under people at a young age since I was made to be a guy. It has been difficult for me.
"I worked as a salesgirl for multiple clients. My superiors will be pleased with me when they see my current self-presentation.
On one occasion, my madam had to travel and left the store with me to run. Making a lot of money was my only hope of winning her approval. But I was the victim of a robbery that day.
Following the intercession of our neighbours, she returned and forgiven me. She threatened to take the stolen products' payment out of my pay cheque. She may have left the money for me later, but I don't remember it with any clarity.
I adore her, though. Even more so, she was reassuring me not to shed too many tears over the occurrence.
I couldn't believe she was so upset with me. For the sake of the next time, she merely advised me to be prudent.
It would be easy for people to feel sorry for me because they would see. They would adore me without even trying.
