On the 28th of June 2025 , our founder had the incredible privilege of hosting the Single Moms Catch-Up Date ,a heartfelt gathering that brought together 30 strong and inspiring single mothers for a day of connection, encouragement, and celebration.

The event was more than just a meet-up, it was a safe space for single moms to exhale, share their journeys, and remind each other that they are not alone. From heartfelt conversations to shared laughter, the energy in the room was full of warmth, resilience, and sisterhood.

What made the day even more special was the official launch of her book, Solo with a Purpose. This project has been a labor of love, rooted in her own experiences of navigating life as a solo woman and finding strength in solitude. Launching it in the presence of women who understand the journey firsthand was truly meaningful.

The support we received ,from sponsors who provided a beautiful venue and impeccable service, to each woman who showed up with an open heart ,made the event unforgettable.

Solo with a Purpose is not just a book ,it’s a movement. It’s about embracing your story, discovering your inner strength, and living with intentionality, no matter your relationship status or season in life.

To all the single moms who attended: thank you for showing up, for sharing, and for reminding us all of the power of community. And to everyone who helped bring this event to life ,your support means the world.

The journey continues, and this is just the beginning.
