African parents never disappoint. Today my dad’s friend turned uncle came visiting with his twin daughters and their younger sister.

This is a Mrs. Nicole Chikwe () appreciation post.

I have known her and loved her through Instagram for over 4 years, I fondly call her “Da Nicole” in the dms because where I am from, you honour your older women relations by using the prefix Daada, short form Da, when addressing them. Today she wrote something that struck a chord in me, (3rd slide). We really do have to apply ourselves with discipline and diligence in our work.

So in the spirit of Thanksgiving, I am grateful to and for my Da Nicole, a.k.a Premium Pie a.k.a Ekwueme (someone that does what he/she says they’ll do).

I am grateful for your generosity, your amplification, your love and your beautiful, excellent spirit. You have mentored so many creators and mothers via your private platform as also the largest digital conference for mothers in Africa (2 years in a row!) I am talking about ().

We are better women because we came across you online. Thank you for being a force, and a bright light that cannot be dimmed. I love you Daada m! Thank you for sharing the link to the Advent 2021 series on my blog, now I have to write for the next 24 days! 🥲😂😘
