Being Superwoman

Solene in London tells Namulanta about mum guilt, sticky doors, and the moment at the school gates that made her realise she鈥檇 got her priorities wrong.

Solene endlessly juggles work and parenthood, but something must give.

She loves her job and wants to keep her identity, but she's working just to afford childcare. She has little family support. Then a moment at the school gates makes her realise that she has her priorities wrong.
