  • PARENTING

Milk & Memoirs is a storytelling space where the everyday moments of parenthood are preserved like keepsakes. Through heartfelt conversations with mothers, mothers-to-be, and parents navigating the early years, we explore pregnancy, postpartum, and the tender chaos of raising little ones. Alongside these intimate interviews, host Mpho journals her own motherhood journey in candid solo episodes—an offering of honesty, reflection, and growth. Once a month, the mic is passed to her four-year-old daughter, whose playful perspectives remind us of the wonder in childhood and the beauty of seeing the world through little eyes. Each episode is more than a conversation—it’s a time capsule. A gift for the next generation to one day hear the stories, struggles, and joys of what it meant to be their parent in a particular moment of time. Authentic. Thought-provoking. Tender. Milk & Memoirs is where the voices of motherhood are remembered and celebrated.
