In this edition of My Mother, My World, Joy News shares the story of Dr Ummu Markwei, a senior lecturer and gender expert who made a conscious decision to prioritise motherhood over personal career progression.
Years later, she looks back on that choice with pride, reflecting on the challenges, sacrifices and rewards of a journey that has shaped both her family and her life.
Her story offers a candid account of balancing professional aspirations with the demands of raising children, and why she considers motherhood one of her greatest achievements.
