She added that posting her partner or relationship status on social media was a prohibition for her.
“Marriage isn’t for everyone. If you think marriage is an achievement, that’s on you. How do you know I’m not married? Do you think everyone needs validation from social media?”, Uriel wrote.
She went ahead to reiterate that she would never post about her partner or relationship status on social media.
“I would never post my marriage or my partner’s full face here. Age-shaming and marriage-shaming is so 2018. Let’s maintain this energy and save the lives of young men and women”.
On the topic of trolls who bully people on social media, Uriel reassured them that she is bully-proof.
“Bullying doesn’t work with me. I went to an all-white school and I was the blackest kid that ever liveth”.

Why must we bill at every opportunity?? Even if he gives you money let it be out of Respect. Why are we putting price Tags on our Private Area?? Is it Plantain?
