She wrote: "When I thought about celebrating my 40th birthday, so many ideas came to mind and from my amazing team. But this time, I wanted something more than just lavish, like I’ve done over the years.

I wanted something truly memorable and impactful. The theme was Chika40Smiles, because I wanted to empower 40 women and make them smile. It was important for me to do this at this point in my life. I’m a mom now, in a different space and season, and I wanted to celebrate in a way that reflected that.

I’m so thankful that I got to do this exactly how I envisioned it, actually, it turned out even better than I imagined! We laughed, cried, prayed, danced, and celebrated together. This was the best birthday celebration I’ve ever had because it meant so much more.

It was inspired by my mum, by all that she gave and sacrificed for me. Now that I’m a mum myself, I can deeply relate.

We had such a great time! I danced so much that my wig and shoes gave way!

To all the mothers out there, you’re doing an amazing job. Keep shining, keep loving, and keep smiling. I Love You!."
