In the tapestry of womanhood, she weaves a tale of triumphant spirit, embracing the silent strength found in the echoes of a childless journey. Through the vast landscape of her heart, courage blooms, a testament to the resilience that defines the essence of her being. In the face of the unknown, she stands as a beacon, illuminating the beauty of a woman's journey, uncharted yet triumphant. She is Femheka.
In 2021 Jobi Tyson invited me to write a column for Tutum Journal, a quarterly magazine for and by childless women. Thank you, Jobi, for calling forth my spirit to openly speak on what was once a wound.
Will Smayda and Heather Lewis Andrews I continue to thank you for your support during my corporate days as I ventured through several IVF attempts and surgical procedures. It’s been years after but I am still touched by your empathy and kindness.
To my God children, nieces, nephews, and the little humans in my life who I love as my very own, your radiant souls have graced my life with light - you are the stars that have painted my sky with joy.
Each of you is a cherished chapter, a melody of love that continues through our collective spiritual journey, thank you for choosing me again in this lifetime. You are my greatest blessings, and I am forever grateful for the beautiful journey we share.
To Dr. Gregory Thomas, who performed my life-saving surgery in 1985, thank you for your courage in doing a surgery most wouldn’t as it was considered too late. While I am childless; I LIVED MAGICALLY.
To my fashion line, Femheka, the energy of your birthing was personal & the depths are yet to unfold. You may now better understand the slogan: Awake. Live. Be Magical. When I say fashion saved me, you may never comprehend the depths of that statement.
To my parents, sister and loving husband- lexicon was unable to shape the words to describe your meaning in my life. Ellen Gopie-Chin Marlon Chris Anguin Keith Chin.
Almost 3 years later, and immediately after Women’s International Day, I felt the urge to share the resilience of a woman who rose to a calling in the depths of despair and championed instead of shrinking her light. Most want to hear about the successes when the deeper story is within the triumph. Until then…
To all the women in this world, whether childless or not, we understand what it means to be woman and to smile, uplift and soar above it all.
Respect, love and honor to you, Goddess 🌟🌙
