Nayna is my older sister, by four years and one month. At 18 she was working as a Saturday girl at Marks & Spencer, awaiting the results of her A Levels and hoping to study sports science at Loughborough. However, after failing all of them, she secured a position on the M&S Management Scheme capitalising on the experience she’d already gleaned on the shop-floor. Fast forward 20 years and she has been appointed to the board of the company as a Director. In between all of this she also had two children in quick succession (as I did) but never once stopped working. She has demonstrated to me that with determination, self-belief and sheer bloody hard work, it is possible to be a working Mum and “have it all”.
