Sophia Momodu, mother of Davido’s first child, Imade, took to her Instagram page to share some wise words to young mothers.
Among the many advice she gave in her post, is that mothers should try everything within their power not to ”project their personal fears or trauma unto their daughters.”
She encouraged mothers to pursue self love and never put their happiness in the hands of others. Read her post below
Not typically one for long captions however a lot of ladies have been writing me & I thought I’d share my thoughts on my 45min boat ride to the airport.
* Self love is a continuous journey.. make it a point to love yourself a little harder with each waking day.
* To my African sisters because the world is harder on us than anyone else, our cultures & traditions make us unique but never let it imprison you.. listen to your mother’s advice but bare in mind that your parents will be talking to you about a time that no longer exists.. & like a wise woman once told me you can’t heal new wounds with old medicine
* To young mothers try everything you can to not project your personal trauma’s & fears onto your daughters instead teach them early the things that you wish you had known earlier.
* Never put your happiness in the hands of another human being because human beings are fickle. No one is gonna save you but YOU. Love & Light TSM
