2 women who run multimillion-dollar businesses share their strategies for balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship

• Balancing entrepreneurship and childcare can be a daunting task, made worse by the pandemic.
• Three women who own businesses shared how they structure their days to juggle both.
• They described working remotely, setting aside time for family, and building inclusive policies.

For Ria Graham, balancing a business and motherhood means waking up early to potty-train the kids and taking phone calls from playrooms.

She and her husband, Kevol, run Kokomo, a Caribbean restaurant in Brooklyn, and raise three children, all under 4.

“It’s all hard,” Graham said. She booked $4 million in revenue last year, which Insider verified with documentation.
