Janet Mbugua who is in charge of the media says she discovered herself through parenting.
Speaking in the ‘Unmothering The Woman’ conversation, Janet shared her journey of motherhood.
She is the mother of two sons; Hurou and Mali.
Janet said she generally wondered if she was the best mother for her children.
“My second son Mali often asks me a question that always surprises me. ”
Sometimes I wonder, do I? Am I happy? Je! Will I be a worthy mother? Healthy holding a roasting tin in the oven, smiling as my dear children look at me? If so, where is Janet, the woman who existed before she became a mother?
Janet added that before becoming a mother, she was like a woman who did not understand everything.
“I’m lucky to get my mom’s thanks again. I still have a hard time accepting where mom starts and where Janet ends. This fight over identity is not something everyone can say,” she said.
She realizes that every mother has some form of trauma as many parents do not recognize it as trauma
