  • Chapter 4: Friendships have Seasons, not Expiration Dates?

    Friendships have seasons, not expiration dates?

    Yes, that is a question.

    What does friendship look like when the women you are doing life with are living very different lives?

    In this conversation, Ivy and her girlfriends (all women in their thirties) share how friendship shifts as life changes.

    They are growing together through different seasons, making room for each other’s changing needs, and finding new ways to communicate when life gets full. Because friendship doesn’t always look the same—but it can keep growing.

  • Chapter 3: The Group Chat has receipts
    14 Oct 2026

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

    The girls who knew Ivy best are here to take a trip down memory lane—remembering who she was, celebrating who she is, and sharing who they hope to see her become.

    Because sometimes the best part of the testimony is the part people conveniently leave out. Your true friends remember the stories, the details, and the versions of you that helped make you who you are.

    Join her for the laughter, the memories, and the loving honesty in Chapter 3: “The Group Chat Has Receipts.”

  • 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?
