On Mothering Twins: VOZ Woman Michelle Arévalo-Carpenter

To honor women and mother's worldwide, we are connecting to our VOZ Women who are staying safe at home with their little ones. Michelle Arévalo-Carpenter shares her perspective as a new mom while continuing her social entrepreneurship and human rights law practice from home in Ecuador.

"Being a mother doesn’t change who you are; it highlights and uncovers powers you had within you all along."

"Being parents of twins has made it easier for my husband and me to distribute and share the care burden: there are two of them and two of us!"
