How one family achieved the unimaginable with Zain Asher
Про цей епізод
Welcome to this episode of the Motherkind podcast. Thank you for listening. I really do appreciate it. My guest is Zain Asher. Zain is a CNN anchor and mother of 2. She is also the author of an incredible new book called Where the children take us. It tells the story of her mother’s harrowing fight to raise four children as a widowed immigrant in South London. Zain tells us in this episode how her mother teachers her children to overcome the daily pressures of poverty, crime and prejudice and how with her relentless support her children exceed all expectations. Listen to this about Zain and her siblings, one becomes a CNN anchor (Zain), another an oscar-nominated actor, another doctor, and another a thriving entrepreneur. It is an incredible story. It is also a conversation about values and culture. Speaking with Zain made me reflect very deeply on my own parenting and it made me ask myself what are the most important values in our family and how do we live those. I really hope this episode moves and inspires you. As always, we continue the conversation over on Instagram, so come and join us there.
