"Motherhood should mark a beginning, not an end."
In this week's episode we have the absolute honour of speaking with Aminata Conteh-Biger, Founder of the Aminata Maternal Foundation. We chat about the birthing and maternal challenges faced by women in her birth country, Sierra Leone.
Aminata is such a vibrant and positive person, she brings such hope to these challenges and speaks about solutions she and her organisation are working on. We also discuss some #mumliferealness and learn about Aminata's journey to becoming a mother.
Here are some reasons why this topic is important:
Instead of sponsors or small business recommendations, this week we're asking our listeners if you are able to consider donating some money to the Aminata Maternal Foundation. Such a small amount can go so far in the lives of women and children in Sierra Leone.
**Trigger warning: In this episode we discuss infant death, maternal death, kidnapping, rape and sex slaves**
