Zenande and other celebrities including Lerato Mvelase, Pearl Modiadie, and K Naomi have previously opened up about the difficulties of motherhood.
K Naomi who welcomed her daughter a few months ago took to her IG stories to share her experience. She said she is still learning and adjusting but she feels like motherhood has been one of the hardest but most beautiful journeys.
"I've cried so many tears with my daughter and alone. I think mothers need a pick me up every week and just to be reminded about their own beauty or amazing characteristics in words, actions, or gift form because we lose ourselves so much, well I do often," she shared.
The media personality also thanked her family for supporting her. She said they help her go through some of the most difficult days.
She wrote: "... being a mum is hard, very hard but look how far we’ve come through all the hardships. Let your kids be the reason you wake up and try again, let their existence put a smile on your face for they love you unconditionally.
She added that motherhood does not require perfection but being able to put your kids first and their needs before yours. She continued, "Giving your time, hugs and kisses, your love and support even when you need them yourself. Take time to truly embrace yourself over a glass of wine or bubbles of course and trust that you have done well with your kids".
She also recently shared that she had to take 10 years to complete her Communication degree because she was also raising her kids at the time.
"It wasn’t easy, felt like dropping out a lot of times but those little faces needed someone to look up to, needed inspiration and I had to make sure that I’m that inspiration, I had to make sure I help them see the possibility of achieving in a world that says they can’t," Lerato shared.
