In 2022, my life took a profound turn.

In 2022, after five years of trying to conceive, three miscarriages, and ultimately in-vitro fertilization (IVF), I gave birth to my daughter. Her arrival, following such a deeply emotional and humbling journey, transformed the way I see the world. It reshaped my connection with others and most profoundly, deepened my relationship with the Creator.

This experience awakened in me a quiet, abiding gratitude and a heightened awareness of what it means to experience life. Motherhood changed how I understand time, presence, and purpose. It was in many ways, a rebirth of my spirit.

This path of love, transition, and self-discovery has become my passion, my creative expression, my intellectual pursuit and my clearest sense of self. It is my gift—one I now share with you. -Aminata Haadi.

The choice is always before you: to respond consciously to the present; or to react compulsively to it. There is a vast difference between the two. And it can make the world of a difference.
