A little more, about the woman i'm blessed to call mommy!
She was the inspiration behind "Datchristianwoman"—her life a testament to unwavering faith, resilience, and grace in the face of everyday challenges. As her daughter, I saw firsthand how she touched the lives of so many women, becoming a beacon of hope and strength. To the men in her community, she was the epitome of a wife worth admiring and emulating.
Her journey was far from easy. She faced numerous trials, but it was the way she navigated those obstacles—with love, kindness, and quiet strength—that turned her story into one worth telling. It’s a story that resonates with every young Christian woman dreaming of a God-centered marriage, and with every wife striving to honour her home.
But beyond her challenges, what truly defined her was her soft-spoken kindness, her unwavering love, her steadfast faith, and her deep humanitarian spirit.She left a legacy not just of resilience but of compassion, inspiring everyone who had the privilege to know her. Her life serves as a powerful reminder that even in pain, there is purpose, and even in hardship, there is beauty...( which I shall continue with the ' Esapa Esther foundation')

Words fall short in capturing the depth of the impact you had on every soul blessed to know you. Your presence was a light, a guide, and a comfort. We will miss you deeply, Mommy—our beloved Nyango Elder!
Faithful till the end
" you can take every thing from me, you can ban me from every activity but you see my God & church, you will have to k!ll me"
These were her words as she cried one evening to the man she called her husband, my late dad as he physically abused her that day from church to the house.
They re still fresh in my brain like it was yesterday. And indeed, she stayed faithful & fearless till her last breath.
