About
Hi there,
I am Tekira
I launched this blog to create an encouraging environment for the millennial mom; whether you stay at home, work from home, or just need to hear the testimony of life and growth, this site is for you.
This is for the young, nurturing mom trying her best to do her all for her family without taking everything from herself in return. Some may not understand how lonely, tiring or difficult it can be being home most days.
FUN FACT ABOUT ME
I am the oldest girl of 13 brothers and sisters. I come from a very large blended family. Get togethers are a little crazy.
They may not see the struggle to be a mom, wife, and businesswoman while getting to know yourself as an individual.
I see you, and I know what it’s like.
You found the right place if you are looking for real inspiration and a heartfelt connection. Here, you will access my faith journey, transparent blog posts on experiences in life and motherhood, tips on prioritizing it all, and inspirational poetry that will connect with you differently.
I must admit, I’m not an expert on this stuff, I’m no life coach, however, I have been a SAHM for 7 years and married for 8 years. And I started all at a young age. I had to learn how to make this life work for me and make the best of my choices. I’m still learning, growing, and making revelations about myself and my life daily that I hope to share with you.
So, why did I start Naturally Kira?
In mid-2017, I went through a depression. I had looked up and I was 26 years old, married with 2 kids and I was extremely unhappy. I cried all the time and felt like my life was going nowhere. I never pictured being a mom so young or staying at home with my kids even when I did have them. Although I loved being a mom and wife, I still felt lonely and stuck. My unhappiness was starting to spread to my family around me.
Eventually, I got sick and tired of being sick and tired and decided to make some changes. I refused to be unhappy anymore.
I prayed, started to exercise, and pushed myself out of my comfort zone. I took on an attitude of gratitude and fought my way out of a dark place to be the joy-filled, positive light I am today. Yes, I can say that now.
I guess you want to know a little more about me now, huh? Well, my name is Tekira. I am 31 years old, and I am filled with life, love, and faith.
I am also happily married to my wonderful husband, Kim. We have been married for 11 years and have two of the most beautiful children, Micah (9) and Aniyah (7). My husband works full time while I work from home and take care of my babies. It’s harder than I thought it would be but my kids have been two of my greatest teachers. And now to top it all off, I also home school them part-time. Jesus give me strength!
Overall, I am the girl next door who goes to church every Sunday and brunch on Saturdays. I wear cute outfits around the house, eat honey buns and read books. I read lots of books! Just about any kind of book. It’s kind of a problem. (But I’m okay with that lol). Overall, my life is simple, yet amazing and it’s only getting better.
Now that you’ve learned all about me, I’m excited to connect with you. Be sure to follow me on IG, Twitter, and Pinterest @naturallykira and Fb @kiranaturally. And be sure to send me a DM so I can follow you back!

Sown in the Light
Sown in Light is a captivating collection of poems, stories and experiences told from the point of view of a young, black girl who grew up in a conservative Christian home. Each poem in this book is a snapshot of a significant moment in my life that paved the way for my spiritual journey. The struggle I describe is not new but true to the experience of those who grew up in religious households. To truly express this work, the book is divided into 3 parts: The Seeds, The Weeds, and The Tree. These sections describe the nurturing in my youth, the struggle in my heart, and the blooming of my faith. It is heartwarming in its authenticity and captivating in its transparency. It is a book for my generation and all the ones to come.
