Ms. Namita Nayyar: You are leading professional dancer, actress, media personality, dance choreographer, style icon, television star, performer in films, television & concert tours and a mother? How you manage such a remarkable multi-dimensional lifestyle?
Ms. Allison Holker: Being a working mother has always come with its challenges. As you are always on the quest for the right balance. Balance will be different in every household, and I’m fortunate enough that my daughter enjoys the work I create and also chiming in with her opinion. She loves to come to help me at work, she helps with the choreography, ideas and will help me pick my outfit for instance. But as a mother I have always promised my daughter Weslie and myself that the energy I put into work I will double with my daughter. I believe in quality time, when I’m with my daughter it’s about her. We discuss her life, friends, her schooling, we play board games, go to activities. I give her my full undivided attention and we create wonderful memories. Communication is key in our family. My daughter has helped shape me into the women I am today.
