Account Manager at a leading pharmaceutical company and owner of a boutique, Valarie Tutuh shares her incredible professional journey which involved counseling and owning an executive protection agency – all while raising two children by herself. Watching her mom's life of service and care for others, Valarie decided to do things differently and follow a professional path. What she wished she knew: you don't have to do everythign by yorself. Valarie shares lessons she learned from her American mom Emma: to be independent and able to take care of yourself and your children; to invest into education and learn from life-lessons;  that success comes from serving others; but also that you don’t have to do it all and that it’s OK to let other people help carry the load.
