Erica Mena is joyfully marking the sixth birthday of her daughter, Safire Majesty.
The day after Safire’s special day, Mena took to Instagram to honor her daughter with a heartfelt tribute. She shared an emotional video montage showcasing precious moments of Safire growing up over the years.
In her caption, Mena opened up about the transformative experience of motherhood, particularly the impact of having a daughter.
“She’s Officially 6 Years old @safiremajesty. Becoming a mother to a daughter changes a woman in ways nothing else can,” she expressed.
Safire is the daughter of Mena and her ex-husband, Safaree Samuels. The pair, known from their time on Love & Hip Hop, tied the knot in October 2019 but went their separate ways in 2022 following a much-publicized and rocky marriage.
“She was already in my life during a season of heartbreak. Watching me navigate pain, strength and survival and not long after, her little brother followed. But my daughter was the beginning of my softening. She taught me that gentleness is not weakness.That femininity is powerful. That love doesn’t have to come with pain attached to it,” she continued.
Mena went on to describe Safire’s personality and the values she hopes to instill in her.
“She is light. Affectionate, peaceful, deeply loving and connected to her family. She loves fashion, she loves her mama and she moves through life with a pure, unguarded soul.”
Erica Mena then reflected on what it means for her daughter to see her working and providing for her family.
“She also watches me work relentlessly to provide for her and her brothers. She sees the discipline, the sacrifice and the commitment it takes to build a good life. And because of that I already know she’s growing into a powerful, driven, goal-getting woman, one who understands both softness and strength.”
The proud mom closed her tribute by reflecting on how motherhood has shaped her.
“Six years of learning, healing and becoming a better woman — not just for her but because of her. I’m so proud I’m @safiremajesty Mother… Happy 6th Birthday Safire Majesty.”
