Eva Kyeni, PhD Researcher specializes in maternal health, reproductive loss, and feminist and ecumenical theology at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Her academic focus on obstetric fistula and Sustainable Development Goals grounds Mama Narratives in deep compassion and credibility. Inspired by her desire to tell the often untold stories of motherhood, Eva founded this platform to offer dignity and spiritual tenderness to mothers whose stories are often silenced. With Mama Narratives, she aims to weave scholarship, empathy, and storytelling into a ministry that honors every mother and points to God’s healing presence in every season.
