Growing up in Athens, I would venture away from home out into the neighborhood, but I was never without a mother. Every woman on our block would treat me like her daughter, whether it was to feed me or scold me. Of course, life is much different today, but it’s possible to re-create that world by building an extended family of grandparents, aunts and uncles, and friends from whom to draw strength and fearless support. I am fortunate to have my sister Agapi, who has become like a second mother to my children.

Do you have a fearless tribe around you? If not, who would you invite to join you and why?
