*As told to Kally from someone who wishes to be anonymous If you think it is the lack of money, that’s not it. I love what I do and I know it is not a conventional career, something that my parents would want me to grow up being and certainly, this job is not something…

Many of you know that I am a new mommy to a beautiful little girl. It is a new journey for me that I would describe as exciting and exhilarating as the learning curve is pretty high. Motherhood has taught me so much more and I’m sure some of the lessons I’ve learn could be…
