In this episode of Childhood Confessions, I talk about becoming the quiet child, not because I was born that way, but because silence felt safer. From growing up on scholarship in a wealthy school to shrinking to survive, this is a gentle reflection on childhood, shame, and learning to take up space again.

In this episode, I talk about the difference between love and fear in childhood, how discipline shaped me, and what it means to relearn safe, gentle love as an adult, especially on Valentine’s Day.

In this episode of Childhood Confessions, I talk about the home that shaped me, growing up without a father, being raised by a grieving, overwhelmed mother, and learning to grow up too fast.

This is a quiet conversation about survival, pressure, and the unspoken rules many African homes had.

No blame. Just context, compassion, and honesty.
