Millennial Parenting In An African Culture

As the oldest child and daughter in an immigrant family, the older I’ve gotten, the more I’ve questioned how I feel about becoming a mother. Whilst I’m not around anyone day to day with kids, I follow women like Daphine who make me look at motherhood in a different light - a more positive light may I say!

A bit more about Daphine:

My name is Daphine, pronounced (daphne, the i in my name throws everybody off.), I'm in my mid-30s and currently working in the healthcare sector. I'm a mum of three who are all 5 years old and under, so life is a little hectic right now!


I started posting content irregularly online since around 2019/2020 during the pandemic/post pandemic era and wasn't really in the game for likes or views. To me, it was just a place to use my creative brain to satisfy that creative itch but then people liked it so I kept on posting and here we are today.
