In this episode, Helena is joined by Wunmi, Kayode’s mama.

Wunmi tenderly shares the story of her son, Kayode, who was born on the 23rd of December 2023 a strong baby boy with the most beautiful, expressive eyes, just like his mama. From the moment he arrived, he showed strength and presence lifting his head with confidence, even in his first few weeks of life.

Wunmi speaks openly about her pregnancy journey, which was deeply impacted by hyperemesis gravidarum. She recalls funny moments like missing Beyoncé’s concert or the brain fog that comes with pregnancy.

She then shares the heartbreaking moments when Kayode’s health took a sudden turn. After developing sepsis, her concerns for her son were not taken seriously, and his condition deteriorated quickly. Wunmi and her family spent three emotional and sacred weeks at Acorns Children’s Hospice, where they eventually said "See you later" to their precious boy.

Through love and courage, Wunmi keeps Kayode’s name alive. This episode honours his life, his strength, and the everlasting bond between a mother and her son.
