Hello lovelies, as some of you already know I’ve been blogging for over a year. All my hard worked paid of and I started working with brands and get featured on other blogs, my DA also finally started growing.
When I first started my blog there weren’t many Somali Mummy Bloggers, which is what motivated me to start my blog back when it was called Simply a Mama ( I rebranded a few months ago to Mrs Jibril)
Growing up I was a shy kid and sometimes I even lacked self confidence so if you told me that I will be writing content on the internet for the whole world to read I wouldn’t have believed it.
Today I gathered all my courage and uploaded my YouTube first video and I intend to upload weekly videos on my channel because if I could share my experience with one mum then that is enough. I will try my best not to let numbers discourage me because I know not everyone is a YouTube sensation or have viral videos.
Why Youtube?
I noticed a huge gap in YouTube, there wasn’t many mummy YouTubers like me (African, Muslim, Hijabi, living in Australia, etc) I couldn’t find someone who resembles me which made me think?! Why don’t I start instead of waiting for someone else. It has been on my mind for months I even had starting a YouTube channel as one of my blogging goals back in January.
How you can help me?
Head over to my channel and watch my first YouTube video, which is tips for new mothers. It would mean the world to me if you could subscribe as well and like my video if you enjoyed watching it.
Feel free to share my video on different social media platforms
Who’s your favourite Mummy Youtuber?

Yay! Well done for plucking up the courage. I’ve dabbled in YouTube but my phone keeps running out of storage as I film… which is highly unprofessional! Might have to give it another go though #blogstravaganza

I had the same issue after filming I realise that it stopped recording half way because of memory.
Thanks for visiting my blog Lucy xx

I have been blogging for over a year and I finally gathered up the courage to start youtube, but I still have a long way to go before I can start filming outdoors and in public.
Thanks so much for commenting and wishing me luck.
