• Nadia desires to 'have it all' in her life
• The singer has started a foundation that will help young girls and women

Nadia Mukami showed off her beautiful baby bump accompanied by her boyfriend, Arrow Bwoy. The two were the image of perfection as they spoke to the media at the Safari Park Hotel.

Earlier this morning, the chocolate-complexioned artiste spoke on something that most modern women struggle with, balancing between their work and family life or work/life balance in short.

Using her Instagram page, the 'Wangu' singer asked aloud why she couldn't have the family and career that she desired.

"Why can’t I have both: A career & a Family. Why do I have to choose one. We can have both. I always prayed for both."

She then added that she had been praying to God for him to make it a possibility in her life. She also explained that the new foundation she had started would push for women to realise this.

"😉 God is making it possible😉🙏Through @lola_and_safari_foundation we are here to remind women: ‘’No dream should die for the sake of Gender’ We can have both ♥️"

Nadia isn't the only celeb woman who is trying to make the complex area of work-life balance work out. Beyonce had herself spoken about this in a past interview with the Mirror saying,

“After giving birth there’s a moment of rediscovery when you are making sure you still have goals and take care of yourself as a woman. That was something I struggled with – making sure I was still this strong woman and also making time for my child and balancing the two.”

Michelle Obama also spoke about this in the past interview with VOA news saying,

"I tried part-time because I thought, I have to figure this out, I have to be able to pick the kids up, I’ve got to be able to do all this. So I tried part-time. The only thing I found out from part-time was that you just get paid part-time. [Balancing a career and happy home life is a] ridiculous aspiration. I don’t want young women out there to have the expectation that if they’re not having it all that somehow they’re failing.”
