She used her mother’s story to pray for those experiencing mental and spiritual challenges, hoping for their release from such struggles.
“This beautiful woman I’m holding in these photos is the warrior who birthed me. She is MY BIOLOGICAL MOTHER,” Chacha wrote.
In honour of her mother’s birthday, Chacha expressed her deep appreciation, highlighting her as a proud grandmother to nine grandchildren.

“This beautiful woman I’m holding onto in these photos is the warrior that birthed me. I mean, she is MY BIOLOGICAL MOTHER
“As she marks her birthday today, I’m grateful to God that the chemical reaction that displaced her identity in my memory reoccurred, and she regained her daughter.
“I have 3 daughters, and I cannot imagine the untold trauma of being forgotten by any of them.
Using my mom as a point of reference, I pray that there be a physical & psychological release on anyone suffering any form of mental & spiritual captivity.
