    Chapter 2: Daughter of a One Woman Army
    7 Oct 2026

    Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

    She was a one-woman army—not because she wanted to be, but because life rarely gave her another choice.

    In “Daughter of a One-Woman Army,” I reflect on being raised by a single mother who carried everything—and how watching her survive taught me to become capable before I was old enough to understand the weight of it.

    We explore parentified childhoods, early independence, inherited resilience and the quiet belief that being strong means never needing anyone.

    This isn’t about blaming our mothers. It’s about honoring what they survived while deciding what we want to carry forward—and what we’re finally ready to put down.

    🎙️ Listen to the latest chapter of African Mom in Transit.

    What did you inherit from the woman who raised you: strength, survival—or both?
