When Nang Ei Ei Mon became a mother, she thought she had it all figured out.  But she was wrong.  Turning to blogging to express her sense of loss of identity, she discovered that in Myanmar as a traditional society, many mothers are strongly limited to a single identity as 'just a mother'.  As a social researcher, she analysed the feelings and experiences expressed by mothers, grandmothers and argues that we should empower mothers to realise their full potential as individuals to build a better future for society. Nang Ei Ei Mon is the Founder and CEO of ‘How She Did It’, Career Development Platform specializing in building women talent pipeline to power Myanmar. Her platform focuses on upskilling women in career break and career changes, and transitioning them into workforce as highly competent professionals.
Her past experience in Domestic Violence counseling and research inspire her to write about the twist and turns of women’s journey in balancing motherhood and ambition. As a life coach, Nang is passionate about helping individuals realizing their potential and expanding their mind into possibility thinking.
When she’s not working, you can find her exploring the town with her toddler daughter. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
