Synopsis

Me and Ma (my) Goddess, also known as ‘Mema and the Goddess,’ portrays a girl’s life falling apart and how she draws from her inner strength to fix it. The faith she demonstrated in her strength not to give up but to keep pushing instead, even with her last breath, made her rediscover how great a lioness she was. One might wonder why most who succeed in life get off to a bad start and pass through many heart-breaking struggles before they arrive. The answer is that “only the test of fire makes a fine steel.” At times, we often have to go through challenging situations to evolve into the best versions of ourselves. So, despite her pains, struggles, heart breaks, and setbacks, she succeeded and later became a symbol of HOPE to her people.
