No, the Harris woman is not magically immune to the worries of all parents. Amara, then 2, took out a pair of AirPods for the first time and said she was on a conference call. “My first reaction was, ‘Oh, what do I do with my kids?’” Meena confirmed.
But then she remembered what she had learned all those years ago when she saw her mother attend law school classes and walk to her office. “It was very important for me to see my mother at work,” she noted. “And it was really defining for me to work hard, have a work ethic and see women as leaders.”
When her eldest complained that she didn’t want mom to have to work, “instead of saying,” Oh, I know work sucks, “Meena recalled.” I was very careful at that moment to say, “Well, you know, I really enjoy working. I know why you don’t like it because it takes me away from you.” come, but hopefully do it positively and show her that I love work. “
When traveling on business, Meena makes a point of bringing home not only souvenirs from her travels, but also stories about what she achieved during her absence. As such, her 4 year old understands that she designs clothes (like Phenomenal’s Mother’s Day collection) and writes books like Ambitious Girl and her debut, Kamala and Maya’s big idea, “and she said,” Can I write the next one? with you?'”
