changing the way african families experience caregiving and disability.
Through Real Talk, Faith, and Education.
Meet Maggie
A Voice that understands
A Registered Nurse with over a decade of nursing experience, and a parent with lived experience of what it’s like to sit with a diagnosis. I know that weight. I also know the heavy weight of stigma in our African communities. So when I speak, I am not speaking from outside looking in, but from inside the room.
This isn’t just my profession, it’s my story.
Why I started this
A diagnosis is not the end of your story. Yet in many African communities, stigma and blame can leave families feeling isolated when they need support the most. I built this because no family should have to walk alone.
Bold Daughters Annual Gathering
Bold Daughters, is a place I created for women who care for their loved ones. Caregiving is rewarding, and it can also be lonely and overwhelming. I wanted a space where mothers could share their stories, be heard, belong, build connections, and most importantly spend sometime outside caregiving and be refreshed.
Our first gathering was in 2018, and 8 years later, we still feel like we’re just beginning.
The need is greater than ever, and so is our hope in God.
Studies show that parents who take care of a child with special needs experience higher levels of stress because of the many demands. This stress affects their mental and overall well-being, and that is why this work matters to me.”

“My sessions with Maggie were more than just guidance. It felt like waking up to something deeper inside me. She made room for honest reflection and growth, and in that space, I found clarity I didn’t even know I needed. Her wisdom, patience, and thoughtful approach to coaching are truly rare.”

“Thank you for creating a safe space where we can talk openly about disability, especially in African culture, where we were taught to stay silent. For shedding light on disability issues that many families struggle with silently.
And for openly calling out toxic cultural beliefs that give power to stigma.”

“I don’t know where to begin. I met Maggie when I really needed someone who understood. She gave me a place to talk without judgment or shame. After my child’s disability diagnosis, many people left my life, but meeting Maggie felt like a sign that God still cared for me. Thank you for always listening to me.”
