THE MILK PROJECT
Mother’s Day as we all know is a special day of celebrating and honoring the mother of the family,it’s a day to show appreciation towards how strong women are and how they mean a lot in the society .
Ace Photographer( Mofe Bamuyiwa ) came up with a project titled “ THE MILK PROJECT” and decided to team up with a bunch of creatives and four amazing breastfeeding mothers, this is what Mofe had to say about the project :
“WHEN I WAS IN SCHOOL I LONGED TO BE A MOTHER OF AS MANY KIDS POSSIBLE BUT AS I GREW UP THIS FANTASY TURNED INTO ME RECONSIDERING HAVING JUST THREE KIDS . I JUMPED AND STARTED CHASING MY DREAMS AND THE FEAR OF BEING A MUM HIT ME BECAUSE OF THE FEAR OF HAVING A LITTLE BREAK IN MY CAREER, REFLECTING ON THIS IT MADE ME REALISE A LOT OF MOTHERS PUT A PAUSE OR SLOW DOWN IN THEIR CAREER TO MILK THEIR CHILD AND BE THERE FOR THEM TILL THEY ARE STRONG ENOUGH , SOME TAKE 6 MONTHS , 9 MONTHS OR EVEN MORE AS OTHERS CALL IT FULL EXCLUSIVE, SINCE I CANT IMAGINE A PAUSE FOR A MONTH NOT TO EVEN MENTION 6 MONTHS I TOOK IT UPON MYSELF TO SCOUT FOR BREASTFEEDING MOTHERS AT EARLY STAGES TO SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCE AS TO HOW THEY HAVE MANAGED THEIR LIFESTYLE , ALSO TO DISCOVER IF THIS BREAK WAS WORTH IT.”
Below are the pictures to share their beautiful journey as new mothers with new borns. Mothers are strong and resilient and should be celebrated all over the world
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY !
