… “anyway, fast forward to March 2020, the bulge on my lower belly had got bigger & my new gynaecologist advised I take out the fibroids. Then COVID-19 happened, and we had to put the surgery on hold. In the meantime, I tried other things… herbs, clean diet, exercise…,”

“Blood Sisters”, is about two friends named Sarah and Kemi. Sarah is engaged to Kola, but there are problems (Kola was physically abusive) in their relationship. Despite Kemi’s concerns, Sarah still wants to go through with the wedding, mostly because she did not want to disappoint her parents.
