LIVING WITH DIABETES: THROUGH KIKILOMO’S EYES
Living with a chronic illness like diabetes can be overwhelming. How do you cope with the constant battle of trying to maintain a proper balance with your blood sugars? Kiki explains, I don’t really have a coping method just some lifestyle modification. I just know that if I don’t take care of myself, I could die. That scares me enough to want to take care of myself and think of life in a different way.

FINALLY, THE BREAST FEEDING TIPS YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR
Breast milk is the best nutrition a mother can offer her newborn baby. Breastfeeding offers tremendous health benefits to both a mother and her baby. It is specially designed to cater for all a child’s nutritional needs in the first six months of life. I breast fed my daughter for seven hundred days, which is twenty three months, and during that period we never visited the hospital for any ailment. No money was spent on medications because my breast-milk was her medicine while also building her immune system. Odenke Amos is a lawyer with a background in alternative dispute resolution.

GREAT IDEAS ON EXCLUSIVE BREASTFEEDING FOR MOTHERS WORKING OUT OF THE HOME
I have had 2 babies in the space of 2 years which means that for the last 2 years, I have been either pregnant or breastfeeding. When I got pregnant with my first child, I honestly gave not much thought to how I was going to feed the baby. I was more interested in the cute little outfits and baby paraphernalia; which are on the market in abundance. I was ooh-ing and aah-ing over cute little rompers and wondering whether I should get wipe warmers (don’t get them. There’s absolutely no point to them). I downloaded an App (Pregnancy+) to keep track of my baby’s development and I am truly…

CALL ME DOCTOR- CHEF & THEN WE CAN STEP INTO JALIKA’S KITCHEN
I come from a family of 7, my twin sister and I being the last born. My parents were total opposites in dealing with us, my mom being the strict catholic mom, and Dad always playing the good cop (haha). So I would say we had a very balanced upbringing. We had a comfortable life thanks to sacrifices made by my parents. They always made sure we had what we needed (note: not wanted, neededJ). That influences my values on what is important in life to this day, and I am forever grateful for that. I knew I wanted to be a doctor at age 7, watching the show ER…

Well fifteen years later, here I am a wife and a mother of 4. Life comes at you so fast. Well that has turned out to be the recurring theme song of my life. My husband…

NIEMATULAI’S GUIDELINES TO BECOMING A SUCCESSFUL ENTREPRENEUR
‘My mother always looked radiant and beautiful in the kitchen, wearing her ‘Lappa’ (a T-shirt and a head wrap). She reminded me of a ‘Shining Star’. She was always so stunning’. My fondest memory was the day I used my lunch money to buy twelve yards of fabric for her. She sewed for herself and made a beautiful outfit. I was so proud to have contributed to that and that feeling stayed with me for a long time. I feel that pride whenever I am able to lend beauty to others through fashion.” Niematulai is a successful entrepreneur with over twenty years of professional business experience.
