getting out the door

conversations with parents about work and family

Tory is a manager at an internet company.  We talked about what it was like going back to work after having kids, and breaking the news to her children that they are moving to another state for her husband's new job. 


Cameron is an adventure junkie.  He's a cinematographer and is on the road a lot.  He loves his job, but hates having to leave his wife and two kids.  


Cherisse is a nanny, and we talked about trying to raise her own child while taking care of other people's children.


Jamal is an artist from Houston.  We talked about creating work his kids don't always get and growing up in Texas as one of the only black skater kids. (There are a couple of explicit words in this one.)


Shoshana was a middle school teacher in Washington DC.  Being with her kids helped her embrace her creative side which had a huge effect on her career.
