Influencer and entrepreneur Sophia Momodu has sent a message to mothers following her speech about postpartum depression.
Newsunplug reported that Sophia had attended the Columbia University UNGA event, where he spoke about her pregnancy and struggle with postpartum depression.
Now, on her social media page, she sent a message to mothers, telling them not to suffer in silence. She said no woman should be ashamed to ask for help and no family member should underestimate what it means to support a mother’s mental health.
Sophia said she wasn’t just sharing her story; she was calling for a world where every mother feels seen, supported, and reminded that she deserves care too.
“Yesterday, I stood on a global stage at Columbia University, NYC and spoke about something I used only to whisper: Postpartum Depression at Tales by Moonlight, UNGA81 🎙️
To speak about it on a global stage, I had to go back to the beginning.
PPD is a conversation we can no longer afford to ignore. It touches women across every culture and background, yet it’s still misunderstood, underdiagnosed and wrapped in silence.
And for women of colour especially, the barriers to maternal mental health support run even deeper.
So let’s be clear:
Postpartum depression is not a reflection of your strength. It’s not a measure of your ability to mother. It’s not a sign of how much you love your child.
It’s a health condition. And it deserves compassion…not shame.
I told my story because the things we’re most afraid to say out loud are often exactly what someone else needs to hear to feel less alone.
Here’s what I want you to take with you:
🕊️ No mother should suffer in silence
🕊️ No woman should be ashamed to ask for help
🕊️ No family should underestimate what it means to support a mother’s mental health
When we care for the mother, we care for the child.
When we educate a community, we change lives.
When we make room for honest conversations, we permit women to heal.
This isn’t just my story. It’s a call for a world where every mother feels seen, supported, and reminded that she deserves care too.
The conversation continues. Who’s joining me?
