Pop singer Ciara Wilson is raising her daughters to feel valued in a society that diminishes the accomplishments of biological women.
Ciara shares three children with NFL star Russell Wilson – Sienna Princess, 7, son Win, 4, and daughter Amora, born in December 2023. She also has a 10-year-old son named Future Zahir by rapper Future.
Ciara spoke candidly with Kindred by Parents magazine about nurturing and guiding her daughters to be the best they can be in a male-centered society.
She encourages all young girls and women to “act tall, even when you feel small,” especially in male-dominated environments. Girls and women are constantly under attack today – particularly in the field of sports.
Ciara, 39, says this makes self-confidence even more important. The mom-of-4 is one of the few artists who claim ownership of her recording masters.
“I always want my girls to feel valued, know that they can create their own self-worth, they’re in control of themselves and where they can in life. I want my girls to know that they’re not limited by their gender or the color of their skin,” Ciara explained.
“To cut through, you’ve got to believe in yourself,” she says. “You’ve got to be confident in your vision. You have to commit to it, no matter what anyone thinks,” Ciara added.
Ciara is a Grammy Award-winning singer who is best known for the hit singles “Goodies” (2004), “1, 2 Step” (2004), “Oh” (2005), “Promise” (2006), “Like a Boy” (2006), “Ride” (2010), and her 2010 double platinum single “Body Party.”
The Atlanta native married NFL quarterback Russell Wilson, 36, in 2016.
