Nigerian-born Selma realizes her dream of becoming a journalist and creates her own column focusing on women’s issues. She proves that she has the stamina to function in the fast-paced world of news writing and reporting. Selma maintains a balance of tough love and empathy with her teenage daughter, Kendra, and supports her friends through their challenges, as they help her through her own. “Do not underestimate the power of friendship among ladies,” Selma says. “We are a pack of mama bears, and we know how to take care of our own.” Bouquet of Dandelions explores women’s issues like careers, marriage, relationships, domestic violence, divorce, friendships and family structure in general.
