Being a Daughter Above All

Today, as the world celebrates the International Day of the Girl Child, I’ve been thinking about identity. About the many names we grow into and the many titles we carry along the way; woman, wife, mother, leader, creator, mentor, and many more. They’re all beautiful, but none of them truly define who I am at the core. Nwa…

Beloved Daughter

This was a birthday portrait of me resting in my truest identity.

Hey sweetie, let me remind you. Before you started answering to all the names people call you now, you were already called Daughter.

Somewhere between growing up and growing older, we often forget that simple truth. We chase relevance, we strive to prove ourselves, we try to wear every hat role with grace. Yet, the fact remains that before the world named us anything, God named us His own.

And that, right there, is our truest identity. We are more daughter than anything else.

May we not forgo remembering who we are. No other name given to us stands more permanent than that name. No other title we carry will surpass that one. No other calling is greater.

My Father is Dear to Me Because…

If I had known that the moment would be so beautiful as to carve a niche in my heart, I would have taken a shot of it or even made a video of it. I feel like I would have missed it more if I didn’t even try to capture it with words. So here I am on Heart Rays….

My Dear Father

This morning felt like a full-circle moment for me.

I sat there watching my first daughter and her father work on one of the homework assignments we intentionally left undone yesterday because we wanted Daddy to handle that by himself and for himself.

The homework was a composition on “My Dear Father” and who better to take it on with her than the very one playing the father role in her life? 

There they were, father and daughter’s heads bent together. Writing. Talking. Giggling. Thinking. It was such a beautiful sight.

Honestly, I didn’t realize how much emotion could be wrapped in a simple nursery school composition. That moment was warm and cozy altogether.

Something in me was healing. Melting. Opening. 

RELATIONSHIP: What You Should Know Before You Start

There are so many interesting things I like to talk about— from love to marriage, career to media, singlehood to motherhood, and so on. But every time I am given an opportunity to speak to youths about love and relationships, I feel like a big fish swimming in her very own water. I literally come alive. Gosh!

Before You Begin a Relationship 

📝

Entering into a relationship is not something you do because you just feel like it. It is not a random event in your life. It actually can be a life-defining or life-altering experience for you. So it is important that you know what you are embarking on. Like the Bible says in Luke 14:28-30, where Jesus uses the analogy of a builder who must first calculate the expenses to ensure they have enough resources to complete a tower, and a king who assesses his strength before engaging in war. 

The truth is that you must understand and be prepared for the full commitment and potential sacrifices required to be in a relationship. So, the question you should ask yourself is: 

Am I ready to be in a relationship? 

Am I?

If your answer is NO, then I am happy for you. You can move on to another blog post. Maybe these ones about Rocking Your Singlehood, Falling in Love With Your Life and Loving Jesus. Hahaha!

Kachi CG Releases Debut Album, ‘Love Echoes’ with 11 Tracks

I’m the proudest wife in Nigeria right now. Hahaha! This is partly because I watched it all happen. The late nights, the prayers, the back and forth. I saw the making of this album up close, and I can boldly say Kachi CG didn’t just create music. He released a message. A message of love.

And true to its name, it’s Love Echoing from the heart of the Father to His son and through the voice of His son back to the world. 

Debut album, ‘Love Echoes’ by Kachi CG

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Kachi CG’s debut album, Love Echoes was launched on his birthday, August 3rd, 2025 and it was amazing. My heart is full! The album is not just a collection of songs, it’s Love Echoing from the heart of the Father to His son and through the voice of His son back to the world. (Okay, I have said that before but it’s worth repeating. 😉)

The album features 11 tracks. Each track carries a sound that’s deeply personal and rich. You can literally feel the love of God as you listen.

Here’s a quick walk through each track and the Heart Rays behind them:

6 Birthday Messages I’m Keeping Forever

It’s less than 24hours after my birthday and I still feel completely undone by the kindness of my people. I received texts, calls, DMs, posts, videos, voice notes and even customized fliers that made me cry, laugh, blush. . . and pause to just whisper “thank You, Jesus.”

So today, I’m bottling up some of those words like flowers here. This is for the me that might need a reminder in the future. And maybe for you too. Because words are powerful. And when they come from the heart? They stay with us foreverrrr.

Birthday Love That Melted My Heart

💛

Life can get noisy. The screams of the enemy may try to negate God’s whispers sometimes. On the days (like this one here) when I feel invisible or uncertain, I want to come back here and remember: I’m seen. I’m loved. I’m inspiring.

Here are Top 6 of the birthday wishes I’m holding onto:

• From Ifunanya Emenike (The MEGA Teens)

Happy birthday to the beautiful Aunty, my inspiration mummy, I'm inspired by how you can be fashionable and also prayerful. My mindset while in east was that those that dress fashionable are not serious with things of God, but now I take those words back because you've shown me that you can dress fashionable and serve God mightily, thank you for changing that mindset of mine and thank you for all your sacrifices for the mega teens, I pray that God's favour will always go with you , because his favour makes impossible possible.

Happy birthday once more and enjoy your day.

Wearing New Shoes, Many Hats… How Did I Grow Up So Fast?!

It’s my birthday!!!! What’s a birthday without a blog post?! I tried to have a quiet birthday but my people literally said, “No no, it’s already too late oh, no no!” I love it for me. Thank you, guys!!!

Wearing New Shoes & Many Hats

Freshest photo taken today: 26/06/2025

I can’t believe I am as old as I am today. It’s funny that I screamed to the world when I turned 20, 21,22, 25,26,28 and almost screamed out my lungs when I turned 30. Now, today, I’m like, “girl, you are not a child anymore”. Maybe because I am now mothering three children. Who knows? Oh my! 

Do you become quieter as you grow older??

Anyway, for some reasons best known to me, I thought it wise to not share any pictures of me today, June 26. I wasn’t going to declare my birthday until I got a Wordddd. I have been waiting on God all through the month of June. And finally, I received IT. Glory!!!!

Is Matching Outfits in Marriage Cheesy or Powerful?

I always knew we’d be that couple.

You know, the ones who match outfits, laugh at inside jokes, hold hands and show up at events like a walking love song. Literally. 😄 It has always been my dream. I knew I wanted to experience the love that’s very visible and vibrant. Soft and rugged. Deep and aligned. All that.

And guess what?

God gave me that…. and more.

🤍

Kachi and I have been beautifully matching outfits from the day we agreed to be committed to each other and stay together forever. We match not just in clothes, but also in purpose, in passion, and in vibe. Ah, it’s the little things that make the biggest impact. I love love love it for me.

WWW—What We Wore to Church: Ankara Family Style

From solo slays to squad goals. Now see what the Lord has done!

Once upon a time, it was just me showcasing my Sunday outfits on the What I Wore blog series, finding moments after church service, and setting timers on my camera. Now? It’s the whole fam! A family of 5!

International Day of the Boy Child: Speaking Life Into Our Sons

Isn’t it funny how this is my very first post for International Day of the Boy Child? Just three months ago, I wouldn’t be bothered or have given it any thought. But today, as I am holding my son and nursing him, it suddenly means something to me.

Motherhood is truly a beautiful thing. What a life-transforming journey. 

When Boys Are Seen

💙💛

Today is International Day of the Boy Child and for the first time in my entire lifetime, it matters to me. Not just to celebrate, but to INTERCEDE.

I think about the boys I know — the ones I’ve dated, taught, coached, prayed with, worked with and watched grow.

And I wonder:

Who taught them how to feel? Who told them they are enough without proving it? Who fathered their hearts?

We celebrate girls (rightly so), we fight for women (we must), but what of the boy?

When will we begin to see him not just as a FUTURE MAN. FUTURE HUSBAND. FUTURE FATHER but as a soul in need of nurturing NOW?

Family of 5 loading... and I couldn’t be more ready!

It’s official! I’m now rounding the last two weeks (or shorter!) of my third pregnancy and everyone in my family is on “baby watch.” The final countdown has begun, and soon my tight-knit little family of four will expand.

Counting Down to a Family of 5

👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 + 👶

I got an invite to be a guest at a forum, and I almost declined until Kachi reminded me that by then, I should have offloaded the package and be light enough to show up and dish out what I’ve got. Did you catch that?!  

Technically, we’re hoping the baby drops in two weeks or less!

Wow! 

It’s a whirlwind of emotions over here. Excitement. Anticipation. Gratitude. Anxiety. Love. Name it.

From a family of two to three, then four, and now five—it’s been an incredible journey of growth, laughter, and love.

One thing I’ve learned through this journey is that love doesn’t divide; it MULTIPLIES. With every child, our capacity to love has grown exponentially. And as we prepare to welcome this little one, I’m reminded that this is God’s perfect design—to expand our hearts and our lives in ways we never imagined possible.
