Kinnecting with gratitude for life, says Chandni Shah, FCB Kinnect

" My will to protect my first baby got me up and about. However, I’m still a mother. I love meeting like-minded women and discussing how they juggle work and spend time with their toddlers. It makes life so much easier to know that you don’t have to figure it out all alone. It gives you the strength to keep going," writes Chandni Shah, founder and COO, FCB Kinnect.

“Women need to dream big and be at it. So many girls today are just not aspiring for bigger things. I want to ask them to not give up. Read two pages of a book, watch an informative reel, or a video. There’s so much knowledge out there that you can imbibe. Start your day by learning something new, highlights FCB Kinnect’s Chandni Shah.
