POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Our darling girl (Nwammiri🌊 Lune🌕 Amira👸🏽 Nebo-Chapot) will be 3 weeks tomorrow🥹. I must’ve watched this video 300 times🫣 since iPhone put it together for us🤌🏾. All I did was add filters and effects that is driving Maurice crazy😂. I don’t care, as I needed to bring some lightness, seeing that the video is as raw as they come🥵! This day and night is currently the most intense, magical, scary, and at the same time, the most empowering moment of our both lives. Nothing could have prepared us for all the emotions we went through starting from the 8th November till the 9th; the day our lives went from “Just The Two Of Us” to a triangle🔼. From a 36 weeks ultrasound appointment that turned into same day admission, and an induction few hours later. We rode the whole rollercoaster🎢 of emotions!

We never got the opportunity to NEST as most first time parents do. Our shipment from France🇫🇷 to Nairobi🇰🇪 wasn’t meant to come in till later in the month. I wanted a water💦 home birth. We’ve drawn clear birth plans and we’ve just started the birth preparation class with our midwife. Yes, I wanted baby to come 2 to 3 weeks before her EDD🙂. But I honestly thought I had two weeks or a week at the very least.

The text from my Gyna had read “The protein in the urine is actually really high indicating you are developing preeclampsia. This means we will have to plan for induction now”. Just like that! All that plan we made took a turn into something we couldn’t control/anticipate. I barely remember the ride back home from the restaurant where we’ve had an amazing lunch to celebrate another week of keeping baby in the womb.

I do remember the long bath🛀🏾. The quiet time I spent alone before I texted Maurice at exactly 19:19 to say “Hey baby, I don’t mean to disrupt your work but Doc said we should come in for admission now. I will be packing our hospital bag as I wait for you to get here okay?”. I didn’t call. I didn’t want him to be panicked.
We barely had time to regulate our emotions before we left for the hospital. But we were in sync, we were aligned. We needed to be, for the journey ahead.
The story of that journey will be for next time✍🏾!
Until then, 🤎+✨! by @love.nebo

We jumped on the #justgivememymoney #challenge BUT #pregnancy #edition 🤪. Of course, Momo🐁 was the innocent victim😭. No thanks to all of us who made this happen😈. @its.dozie who flew all the way from Lagos🇳🇬 to France🇫🇷 with his wife @iamnebomiracle to suggest this ridiculous prank😆. @official.stunna_ who came from Manchester🇬🇧 to play a role. And of course @zippyzenbehen and Aarish who has become an important part of our lives🫂.
You guys are simply unbelievable!🤩. But now, we got the most unusual Pregnancy🤰🏽Announcement Video. Thanks to your collective mischievousness💩. We love y’all so much! Let’s have an amazing September!🤗

Another beat.

“What about it?” I retorted.

She replied calmly as she did in her question.
“I don’t know. You tell me”.

I smiled wistfully and said,
“My Love Life in a nutshell is…

A Psychedelic Love Story!
And here is the Love Song”.

Cheers to the Year I ATE!🥂

The global news of recent has haunted me so much! I’ve been having the most horrific & unspeakable nightmares! As a mum, I’m scared for my children each day. But as a mum of two daughters, I’m scared every minute and seconds for them in a world that makes it too comfortable to hurt girls and women. I know quite well that boys are hurt too because ain’t they the daily stark reminder of how patriarchy will never serve us as a collective! Today I’m holding space for all women and children that have been, and continue to be victims of this violent patriarchal system. I’m really exhausted that things I had to face since being a little girl, I am today as a grown woman, still witnessing girls all over the world going through similar, if not worse reality. These vicious cycle of violence and abuse against girls and women all over the world in their different contexts; war, class, race, culture, religion, politics, and not limited to those, are just harrowing. And the fact that it is constantly being protected by patriarchy is disturbing. We’re failing girls, women, and little boys so much! A whole society is collapsing right under the weight of androcentrism! This senseless “male supremacy” is killing all of us and this beautiful universe. Perhaps it actually needs to crumble so that we can rebuild afresh. It’s just sad to see that women and children would continue to pay the price for that change.

Today I just want to say that I’m tired. I’m angry. I’m disappointed. I’m frustrated. I’m overwhelmed. Yet, I’m seeing clearer on why giving up will never be an option. I have more reason right now than I did years back to keep prioritizing girls. I am more committed than ever before to keep believing women! I continue trusting divine feminine energy as the only way to bring balance♎️ in this screwed up world. I keep envisioning our return to a matriarchal society where not only girls and women can thrive without fear, but little boys, men, animals and the environment doesn’t need protecting from men! Asé🙏🏾. I’m sending hugs to all Mum, Women & Children that are hurting all over the world from the actions and inactions of Men.

September 21st, 2025
The day I started to lose you. Gradually, steadily, and poof; I met you, but lost you💔.

It took me over a week to tell Momo🐁 that we were expecting what would have been our 2nd baby. Of course, we’ve started trying for another as we wanted them close in age. However, by the time I conceived, we weren’t in a very good place. I honestly wasn’t sure if I was happy. I remember feeling fear, overwhelmed and indifferent. I customized two Masai Shukas with an embroidered quote; “There is no room in love for fear. Well-formed love banishes fear”. Signed _Momo & BabyCorn. This was the same quote I used in 2024 to announce my pregnancy for Nwammiri. Still, I didn’t feel as grounded as I was back then. Different year, different situation, different mood. But that did not in anyway mean that I didn’t want this baby to stay.

Few weeks after sharing the news with Momo🐁. I miscarried. I fought so hard to come to terms with what was happening from the first sight of spotting. For days I prayed so hard for this baby to stay. I apologized to them and my Chi for my lack of joy on finding out I was expecting. I blamed my lack of enthusiasm as the main cause. I blamed the friction in my relationship for that lack of joy. I blamed my body for not holding me up even though my mind was falling apart. I looked around for something to blame. That wine I had drank. The drag I took from a joint. The exertion I might have put on myself and on this gift I carried within me. I was spent by the end of it all. Still, I carried on. Hosted our first ever Savannah Creatives Night while still miscarrying😭. Never paused. Afraid to stop. All these months, I’ve not slowed down enough to process it all. Where is the time? When I got pregnant right after that! It feels like a distant memory with all that have happened between then and now.
Yet, today somewhere within me I was carrying an emptiness. Something missing. I didn’t know what it was till I went down memory lane. Indeed, today one year ago, I lost what could have been our second child🥲. I had called them Odinani.
What a wonder to have another; who had to bear a name to witness the one who couldn’t stay🤎

Feels surreal holding this certificate in my hands😊.

This shi was hard AF! I was in the third trimester of pregnancy and tired to the bone😮‍💨. I knew I needed something else to engage me mentally. And that was how the idea💡came to attempt #delf #b2 😬. I was scared shitless because it’s been 2 years I’ve not studied French Language. Asides Duolingo🦉(which was only for the fun of keeping my streak going)😂.

I knew I was rusty. But I also knew what was needed. I got grinding💪🏾 as I had less than a month to prepare from the point of decision and registration. Honestly, I was content to pass with the barest minimum point (50/100), if at all I actually make it💩. I told myself it wouldn’t be a big deal if I don’t succeed as I can always attempt it again next year. Even though a lot of money would have gone down the drain! Not to talk of what that would have done to my poor ♑️ heart🥺.

I’m so glad I didn’t waste our money🤑, and that I didn’t break my own heart😩. I got my B2 as y’all can see with my shiny evidence!😁. And yo! I am still super proud of myself month later for believing I could😎.

Shoutout to all my support systems. Y’all rock🤘🏾!

Btw! On this same day, I got my Push Gift💝✂️🤫. #iykyk 🫣😉. September 3rd will forever be iconic! by @love.nebo

Been a while no throwback! It’s good to remember.

On Matrescence, …✍🏾

I miss my locs, I miss my body, I miss impromptu trips (all pun intended), I miss playing dress up, I miss before(s), I miss raving, I miss afters, I miss girlhood, I miss nightlife, I miss getting tattoos, I miss spontaneity, I miss my carefree self, I miss happy hours, I miss long beach bum🍑 days, I miss everything before them babies!
I remember how bad I struggled the first time. It was disorienting in so many ways. I was already dealing with identity loss from becoming “someone’s wife”, double immigration, the hell of pregnancy and childbirth. But nothing prepared me for what becoming a Mother will do to me in ways I’m yet to even put to words. Yet, I did it again💩! And now that I’m in my postpartum journey with more awareness, I’m beginning to understand bit by bit what I allowed myself do. The enormous task that this daring thing was and how I’m forever altered.

So yeah, as I take all the time needed to heal from the grief of loosing who I was and birthing this current version of me, I’ll remind myself that what I did is so far the most courageous thing I might ever do in this life. I can be grateful for this life and still spiral on some days! And that is okay. Because in this era of Matrescence, I am both the protagonist and the antagonist! The story I’m creating & the script I’m writing, is forever ongoing…✍🏾

August 2026, Nairobi📍.

@love.nebo and I took part to a photo walk organised by @unpublished.africa last week end, and we had a blast!

We were about 30 photographers from different horizons roaming the streets of the CBD and Gara, shooting at everything, under the guidance of @dachala_photography👌🏼.

Here is a small selection out of the almost 500 pics taken by Love and myself over the three hours that lasted the walk. The theme was black and white, and I might later on share a B&W series, but those colours were impossible to ignore…

Hope you enjoy!

A Rave in The Wild “literally”! This is what it feels like living in Magical Kenya🇰🇪 Fr Fr!💩😈!

Right in this open garden, we had packs of Buffalos🐃, Hippos🦛, Giraffes🦒, and so many wildlife🥵. And to think this rave was serendipitous and so was the moon🌕.

What a moment! Couldn’t be happier to be spending it with my beautiful family🥹. @maurice.chapot @zippyzenbehen and new acquaintances🤩.

I remember someone asking me about a year ago, what is my life like now? Especially being who I was! I can’t remember exactly what I responded right now. But it was something in the line that “I still find ways to turn ordinary days into a rave!😎”. Not all days of course! But somedays, it almost feels like nothing changed. But really, everything has! And no damn regrets baby. Not a single one. I hope never!🙏🏾. So thankful for this life!😭 by @love.nebo
