Atim, who is married to singer Jose Chameleone, is definitely a "BADASS" like she said.

Last year she faced off with her inlaws, calling them out for mistreating women who get married into their families. She gave an example where she was put under pressure to produce a daughter. Her first three children with Chameleone are boys.

She said at some point she even stopped her kids from visiting her paternal grandparents.

"I was smart enough to know that it didn’t matter what gender my child was but here I had fallen in love with a man from a very traditional family, to them a boy child sealed a man’s status in society, and now it was my duty to do that,” read her post in part.

And then I had a second son and even a third son and this time they moved goal posts, they wanted a girl but trust me by this time I had started to outgrow the standards they had set for me as their son’s wife, I was done walking on eggshells and I wanted the courageous girl Fr John raised to come out of her shell, I wanted to be the brave, principled girl every one referred to me as .it was time to start living the values Fr John had instilled in us. HUMBLE and FIERCE.

“I immediately stopped my kids from visiting their paternal grandparents if I was not in their company, I did not want my kids getting certain ideas in their heads. I became the VILLAIN who was the topic of discussion in family WhatsApp groups but secretly I was thumping my chest in victory, I had won this battle and I could raise my kids as they kept pointing fingers.

“Alba was born, she was instant sunshine, and my in-laws were excited but by this time they already knew not to make tasteless comments around me, the warrior in me had woken up and has never gone to sleep since then.”
