A woman’s evocative chronicle of modern womanhood, navigating love, family, and the radical desire to remain child-free in a patriarchal world.

Karen has spent years building an independent life in the city, far from her fractured family, leaving no room for love—until she receives news of her mother’s sudden death. The devastating news unravels her carefully curated life as Karen grapples with painful memories and the sister she left behind a decade ago.

As grief, memories, and long-buried resentment reemerge, Karen’s troubles have only begun: she’s pregnant, her secret affair with a younger colleague is exposed, and Omo is gravely ill.

In the face of cultural expectations surrounding love, duty, and motherhood, Karen finds solace in The Women’s Group—a circle of fierce, resilient women who challenge her to confront the truth: forgiveness isn’t always mutual, and love can take unexpected forms.

Set against the vibrant landscapes of contemporary Lagos City and Eastern Nigeria, Your Tomorrow Was Today is a poignant journey of feminist reckoning, exploring autonomy, identity, and the choices that shape us.
