Reflecting on what it means to be a mum, I realised "being a mum is something that I used to feel ashamed about. I used to feel that having a child made me a burden on my colleagues, and, honestly, even walking down the street would make me shrink. I tried to make myself small."
Being a mum is a complex identity, especially in 2025, when so much is expected of us as humans alone. I wrote a short piece: 'Shrinking Identities: Coming Out as a Parent'. Follow the link in my bio to have a read.
Happy Mother's Day to all of those who hold this as their identity. Especially my mama 💕
