Hi! I am Esrida, mama to two beautiful girls. Although I never planned to be a single parent, my life has taken a few unexpected turns which lead me to this place. Luckily for me, I could find the blessing and reason in each disruption, and now it is my heart’s desire to inspire and motivate you to realise that even though your kids might come from a single-parent home there is no reason it should be a broken one. There can be purpose in your pain, and healing in the journey.
