  • Y'all! I linked up with two amazing Kenyan mamas to talk all things motherhood! Sheila and Shikie are two powerhouse women raising beautiful babies, doing the things with their respective businesses, all while staying ever-so-fabulous honey! I had a fantastic time collaborating with them for this chit-chat video where we delved into our childhood experiences that shaped the mothers we are today, balancing motherhood and other life aspirations, being a mom in the digital age, motherhood struggles, and a whole lot more! We went IN y'all! Watch as we take you along our journeys as we navigate raising our kids and everything in between.

    I watched this video before I had my baby and I'm here a month after delivery and its even more relatable! Motherhood is so hard and unbelievably beautiful at the same time.

    awwww, i LOOOOOOVED this video ladies! It made me realise that 1) I miss Sheila so so so much on these RUclips streets, my word! 2) I think I saw a side of Ijeoma that i didnt know in this video - can't exactly put my finger on it but i love it and 3) Shiki is honestly such a girl's girl, one of my fave girls in Kenyan RUclips. Just turned 25 a week ago and I know I am nowhere near being a mother but I loved this, it was equally insightful and frightening lol.

    I clicked on this because a I'm going through it. I have a 5 year old and a 2 month old and am pretty sure that whilst I'm so happy and feel blessed to have them I may have 'baby blues'. It's been overwhelming for me being an M2 (mother of two) and it feels like there's not a lot of people who are willing to listen to the struggles.

      @@Abebo21 Do you realize she is Nigerian born per her ,it means her formidable years began in Nigeria. There's no excuse to be sounding like a nasal wanna be white chick who was raised by white ppl . Many African Americans born in the country would agree with this greatly. This suppression of self/ tone/ tongue is a global problem Eurocentric educated Blacks are having . Acquiring a White given education should not eradicate your African sound / accent or tone. We can speak English eloquently and not be sounding like a nasal / I lost myself because I am programmed /Educated by white ppl ,do you understand ? This is the global issue and a facet of colonialism that we are facing . No excuse . Be authentic African educated men and women .

    I really enjoyed listening to this conversation, it was also very educative. loved the different personalities 🥰 and the compassion you guys showedon here. I’m also wondering, is it really worth it not to know your kids for the sake of hustle?
    -
    I understand it’s for them but I also notice a lot of current teens and young adults have gone through mental problems, clinical depression and suicide sadly even due to the lack of a proper family structure, not knowing their parents or being friends with them. I think a lot of things which could come from home such a security of love, belonging, affirmation on identity, social & work skills and friendship can and have lacked on a huge level and this has gone on to really affect children.
    _
    I think also as you & Sheila said the hustle is for them and that’s a love language in itself. I think it’s also an encouragement we can try set boundaries with work so that our kids don’t think, “oh mum loves to work more than she loves to hang out with me,” plus also we can get the opportunity to know our kids and raise them well and confident.

I'm just done coz it has taken a toll on both my physical and mental health. The only good thing is i'm in a country where all my healthcare is free.
