Mother's Day is a time to celebrate the incredible strength, dedication, and love of mothers everywhere. But what about the mothers who also command the decks, dropping beats and electrifying crowds?

The world of DJing, with its late nights, travel, and constant hustle, can be challenging enough. Adding motherhood to the mix requires an extraordinary level of resilience and organization. These women are not only masters of their craft but also masters of multitasking, balancing sound checks with school runs, and festival sets with bedtime stories.
The challenges are real: sleep deprivation, extended periods away from their children, and the constant negotiation of work-life balance. Yet, these DJs demonstrate that passion and parenthood can coexist beautifully. They adapt, they innovate, and they find ways to integrate their families into their musical journeys.
The rewards? Immense. They become role models for their children, showcasing the power of pursuing your dreams. They build communities and create spaces where their families can share in their joy. And they prove that motherhood doesn't mean sacrificing your identity or your ambitions.
ANNA: The Brazilian techno powerhouse, ANNA, has spoken about the challenges of touring while being a mother. She's emphasized the importance of support and planning, but also the incredible joy of sharing her musical journey with her child. While direct quotes regarding family life are less common from her, her continued success while also being a parent is a testament to the fact that it is possible.
A Quote to Inspire:
"Being a working mom is about balance. It's about showing your children that you can pursue your passions and still be a loving and present parent."
