Afropolitan Mom here – Hi!!
About Afropolitan Mom
A top New Jersey lifestyle blog by Kira Odunsi. Based out of NJ, Kira started The Afroplitan Mom in 2003 as a creative outlet to inspire and empower women to not only live but celebrate their life without judgment while balancing being a woman and a mother. Here she shares her motherhood journey, food & drink, everyday style, tech, travels, and family adventures with friendly tips on how she manages to balance it all.
Kira was born in Nigeria, West Africa, and migrated to the United States with her family at age 15, where she continued her high school and college education. She’s a wife and mom to two smart and amazing daughters (ages 14 & 10). When she’s not working, you can find her experimenting in the kitchen by trying out new recipes, traveling with her family, reading, watching TV, and spending time with friends and extended family.
