Motherhood is overwhelming .
I mean all what I think about is ensuring a sustainable and bright future for my baby girl.
For me having a baby girl is like recreating the mini version of yourself and doing anything possible to avert her from making the same mistakes you made and encouraging her to do things you wished you'd have done but was too scared to do. Now that's my truth, I can't say for any other person. Fact is I can't manipulate my daughter's future neither is it right to dictate her life, but here are things I'd love to teach her.

- Your Gender Doesn't Define What You Should Do, Become or Love: Growing up as a young girl society made me believe some certain things are meant for the male and also for the female; from career choices to hobbies, even as far as to politics, TV shows or entertainment etc.Now this is not a sexist blog but I'd love for my baby girl to know that the things she loves and is passionate about isn't and shouldn't be determined by her gender.
- Reading and or loving books doesn't make you a nerd, it makes you powerful. Knowledge is golden.
- Don't define yourself with material possessions. Growing up I had self esteem issues, because I judged myself with what I had (material wise) not what I possessed and was capable of; so I'd allow myself to be intimidated and taken advantage of. Dear daughter you were fearfully and wonderfully made by God, what you possess is greater than all the wealth of the world.
- Art is beautiful.
- Cooking is not difficult once you love good food.
- The fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom ()
- Work smart so you don't get to work too hard.
- Your beauty is far fetched.
- You can achieve and be anything if you put your mind to it.
- There's time for everything .
- Don't be too hard on yourself, you only fail when you give up trying.
- Love and sex are completely two different things , I love you doesn't mean I want to have sex with you and having sex doesn't mean you're in love.
- Your body is your (a) priceless possession.
- Only you can make yourself happier.
- Don't depend on man not even I your mother.
