Renowned Nigerian media figure Toke Makinwa has opened up about the profound emotional restoration motherhood has brought into her life.
Makinwa, who became a mother for the first time last August, reflected on how her past wounds are being soothed by the arrival of her daughter, Yakira Eliana.
In a heartfelt social media post dated September 27, the TV host shared how her little girl is helping mend deep-seated emotional scars from childhood tragedies she believed were long behind her.
“Through my daughter, I’m discovering healing in places I never knew were broken—childhood pain, sorrow I thought was gone.
“This was heaven’s perfect gift,” she expressed with gratitude.
My daughter brought me healing, she is daily healing parts of me I didn’t even know needed healing, healing from my childhood trauma, from grief I thought I had dealt with a long time ago. God knew I needed this 💕
