There’s nothing as beautiful as having that one friend who stands with you even in your darkest days. Even the most fervent believers have dark seasons. We all need someone who stays—not just when we’re shining, but when we’re struggling.

*Ways to love your African mum today*
1. Send her money. Let's start with the language she understands best. 😂
2. Sit with her while she cooks. Peel the vegetables, fan the fire (if she still uses one), gist with her, and steal a piece of meat from the pot like old times.
3. Let her tell those stories you've heard a hundred times. The ones that begin with, "When I was your age..." One day, you'll wish you could hear them again.
4. Eat her food with takeouts. Nothing makes a mum happier than watching her child clear the pot and ask for more.
