Rajel Nelson is letting fans into to her life as a new mom after welcoming her daughter Sevyn, whom she shares with rapper Boosie.
In a recent interview with The Progress Report, the model reflected on how motherhood has shifted her world in the best ways and why she is finally ready to share more of her story.
Becoming a mom, she says, has been the biggest transformation of all. “I’m enjoying the experience. I’m enjoying the change. I love being able to evolve.”
She also shared the meaning behind her daughter’s name, saying, “I always [liked] a unisex name, but I love like how seven is biblical, you know. God rested on the seventh Sabbath day. And I just feel like the number seven has a lot of meaning to it. If you know, you know.”
One of the sweetest surprises of motherhood has been discovering her baby’s calm personality. “The biggest surprise has been for me is how um chill my daughter is. Cuz I think she’s just so like no. Like she’s literally chill.”
Rajel went on to say, “She just blows my mind cuz in my head, I’m like, you know, kids are supposed to be loud, crying, fussy. Like my daughter literally just the most sweetest calm thing. I’m just so blessed and I’m so happy.”
Now, Rajel is gearing up for the debut of Life After Labor, a new reality series that gives fans an inside look at her life off-camera. She said the project allowed her to open up in a way she never has before.
“I feel like I never really showed the world who I am as a person. And I feel like this reality show, Life After Labor, gives you an insight of me. Like how I handle things, how I’m going forth with being a mom. It’s showing you my day-to-day life.”
And while sharing her personal life wasn’t always her plan, motherhood shifted her perspective.
“I feel like being a mom is amazing. And I feel like the world should see that. Like I shouldn’t have to hide that. I feel like children are beautiful, kids are are loving, and I feel like I want y’all to see that side of me. I want y’all to see the growth in me. So, life after labor is going to give you that.”
Life After Labor is now streaming on the Dette Network and other platforrmms.
