Transformations


When I was pregnant with Ayinde I decided I would lock my hair. It seemed the right time to do something that I believed would be a spiritual journey. I also felt compelled to take an African name. I chose a Kenyan name: Nah'zia. It means a mother's love. I believe becoming a mother has redefined who I am, my purpose, and what I think of myself. Mothering has made me a better person. It is one of the most fulfilling aspects of my life. I didn't believe I could love another child as much as I loved Zion. Now I know I can.

Beautiful brown people! Ayinde has come along nicely! All praises to The Most High! I remember those days, my two were preemies. Continue to overcome! Itiel

Peace and Greetings Nah'zia:
What a beautiful family. Sending you warm breezes from a frigid Chicago morning.
All is perfection,
JacQuie

Greetings from Utah! Your family is beautiful! I am very grateful that Ayinde is doing so well. Having a preemie is rough but it seems like you are doing a remarkable job.
