Westfield Area B.I.G. Women Entrepreneurs Meeting: Working + Parenting & "The Balance of Responsibility."

Join our B.I.G. Westfield Area group of aspiring women entrepreneurs at 10:30am, Thursday, January 26th at Turning Point, 137 Central Ave., Westfield, NJ 07090.

Guest speaker, Kumari Ghafoor-Davis, MSW, will  address the issues of Working+Parenting and "The Balance of Responsibility."

Kumari will have open dialogue about how the treadmill of life can put goals and dreams on hold. She will discuss the importance of life balance and some ways to keep sane when things can become overwhelming in our lives. She will speak from a professional standpoint(as a Social Worker, Parent Coach and being in social services for over 15 years).

Kumari will also use her triumphs from a personal perspective, including raising
her now college sophomore as a single parent, for many years. Strategies in her new released book "Real Talk: Ten Parenting Strategies to Raise Confident Successful Children" will also be discussed.
