It is that time of year again when Our Today highlights popular mothers on social media who have taken us on their journey of motherhood.

Mother’s Day is just around the corner this Sunday (May 12); a time to celebrate and honour mothers for their invaluable contribution to the family and society.

Today, Our Today is highlighting Yendi Amira Phillipps, affectionately called ‘Yendizzle’.

Phillips is a woman who wears many hats, being a mother, model, TV host, and host of her own show, ‘Odyssey With Yendi‘, on YouTube.

She is a beauty pageant titleholder after representing Jamaica in 2007 at the Miss World pageant held in Sanya, China, where she was among the top 16 finalists. Phillipps also represented Jamaica at Miss Universe in 2010, where she finished as the first runner-up.

The 38-year-old former beauty queen is a mother of two children: her daughter Israel McGregor, whom she welcomed into the world in 2012 with her former partner Daniel ‘Chino’ McGregor, and her baby boy Isiah McFarlane, whom she welcomed with her husband Omar McFarlane in November of last year.

For Phillipps, her version of motherhood entails praying for her children and embracing them with tender love.

“Mummy, your grandchildren are growing beautifully, happily, and thriving. They have a mother who prays over them, who loves on them and nurtures them, just as you did us, but I know you know this. I know you know them, and I know you know that we speak about you every single day that God blesses us with life. We cherish you forever and ever…and a day,” Phillipps shared in a captioned post as she penned an emotional note to her now deceased mom.

Admitting that an uncertainty of hers was being able to show just as much love to her son as she does to her daughter, Phillips has learned that the love of a mother for her children has no limit.

“Honestly, one of my biggest uncertainties when I was pregnant with my second baby was, “How could my heart possibly be able to expand to love him based on how much I love my daughter?” It’s safe to say that the heart has absolutely no limits. The blessing of how deeply I feel for the fruits of my womb will always and, forever be one of the most inexplicable experiences of my time in this earthly realm,” Phillips said.

Happy Mother’s Day Yendi!
