ANGELA & VANESSANG

Vanessa might not have become a lawyer if it hadn’t been for her mother Angela, who stood by her and helped convince her dad (who wasn’t for the idea of her pursuing law studies abroad). The ladies’ favourite bonding activity is cycling, which they enjoy every evening.

VANESSA

“My mother is my role model because she always makes time and effort to treat people with care and compassion. I often turn to her for advice; she considers what’s best for me even if she knows it’s something I might not want to hear — that’s tough love.”

ANGELA

“I admire my daughter for her simplicity: she’s easygoing and good-natured. We enjoy each other’s company; my daughter lifts me up by being a good listening ear.”

JACELYN, KATERINA & MICAELA LAI

Self-described warrior Jacelyn is an involved parent to her four children, including psychology grad Katerina and aspiring lawyer Micaela. Her greatest wish is for them to overcome any challenges they face independently.
