How others describe me

Holly described by Kwame:

Holly has been a stay at home mom since our daughter was born. She loves being a hands on mom who is there for all the milestones and special moments that our daughter has. She loves spending time with her and nurturing her interests as she becomes her own unique person.

Holly is Korean-American. She was born and raised in NY. She has a Bachelor’s degree in political science and she worked in creative fields and nonprofits prior to being a stay at home mom. She loves movies, books, and the arts. Holly appreciates the simple things in life, like kindness and empathy. She loves and protects those close to her with a big heart. She loves to laugh and joke around as well.

Holly volunteers at K's schools. She was a class parent in her preschool and volunteered teaching nature related lessons in her kindergarten. She also volunteers for a community nonprofit and she works on projects bringing fun cultural events to her community, for both adults and kids.

Embracing and celebrating different cultures is important to her. She makes sure that our daughter is aware of both her Korean and Jamaican heritage. She talks about Jamaica and Korea regularly. She reads books to her which contain diverse characters. She understands the importance of representation for kids to see themselves in a positive light. She would be super supportive of celebrating the cultural background of K's future sibling!
