Petina, Zimbabwe

International trade lawyer, writer
Single
Mother of an 11-year-old boy
 
“If you’re an international trade lawyer, there’s only one place to be and that’s Geneva. We are an unusual family in that we all live in different countries: our son attends a boarding school in Scotland, I’m in Geneva and his dad is in Zimbabwe. I sometimes think I became an accidental mother.
I was never a traditional woman in the sense that I wanted marriage and children and a white picket fence. Motherhood is something that happened to me and I’m very happy for it. I feel my son has completely changed my life in a way that being a lawyer or a writer hadn’t. He is the one person I can truly be myself with. It’s unconditional.”

Geneva, March 2015
