About “This is Work, Too”

In a new place where everything seems foreign, new connections become chosen families. The fun, the moments of play, the sharing of lives become the foundation for how we go through life’s ups and downs together. The pressure to build a life has always felt like a huge part of our story. But pride and ego often get in the way of this. But when things fall apart, we have a choice, we can start again, or we can reach out for help. Which do people choose and why? Culture bearer, bollywood star, homemaker? Builder, breadwinner, boss? What are the expectations we work to meet? In the US, there are these roles that women find themselves filling, and it gets exhausting.
