Let me get to your soul before the world tries to claim it. This is a mother’s effort to arm her children with roots, voice, faith, and the ability to recognize themselves when the world tries to rewrite them. I wanted to give them everything I never had, but I choose to give them what I was taught too late, learnt too late. Because the world, as it stands now, doesn't demand brands or the latest gadgets, it demands foundation. It is not a parenting manual. These pages are from lived experience—truths that bruised me before they built me. What I hope to give them is a compass. A point of reference so deeply anchored at their core, not even peer pressure, heartbreak, or the WIFI going down can shake it.
