To all the girls in the world who dare to dream
Our Moms´ dedication to their work and to us, their children, inspired us to write this book.
Growing up we understood that women could and should pursue any career they want.
We wanted to share our story with all the girls in the world and inspire each to pursue your passions and to dream big.
Unless you have dreams, they cannot come true!
