What She’s Sharing:

“Navigating Motherhood,” an authentic and powerful reflection on becoming a mother. Lilliam shares the many ups and downs of her experience as a new parent to her daughter Mia, and offers a call for better parental leave policies and support for working mothers.

“Supporting working mothers is not just a women’s issue, it is an issue that affects everyone in society. By providing support for working mothers, we can create a more equitable, productive, and inclusive society for all.”
