On episode 7 of Wait...I'm a Mom?!, Alicia "Ace" West chats with THE Nneka Elliot, someone Alicia has secretly looked up to for years. During their chat, Nneka shares her history as an award-winning media personality, why she shifted to focus on acting and content creation and how she now integrates motherhood into her career.

We also chat about decisions, that sometimes can be controversial, like doing extended breastfeeding, exclusively co-sleeping, hiring Nanny's. Nneka breastfed her daughter, Reign, for just over 3 years (which is truly mind boggling to Alicia who couldn't make it past 2 months.) This was a decision she made solely based off of what she felt was right for both her daughter and her body and her mental, which is something Nneka considers when making every decision. She also reflects on having a baby during the COVID era, going into labour the day she moved (!!), and how she is rediscovering and prioritizing herself now that her breastfeeding journey has concluded.

They say motherhood is the best hood but it's still a bit ghetto.
