We're all in this together.
I have always believed in the universality of motherhood – that all moms, no matter where they live, share their own special community and look out for each other. The reality is, we’re all in this together. This belief was confirmed while I was in Tanzania earlier this year, connecting with moms on the other side of the globe about our shared struggles getting our kids to do their homework, our challenges raising teenagers, and our hopes and dreams for their future...
