My journey as a working mother has been both challenging and immensely rewarding. With the joyful chaos of raising three wonderful children and a career spanning several years in the finance industry across various sectors, I've experienced firsthand the delicate balancing act that so many working mothers face daily.
In the fast-paced world of finance, where deadlines are relentless and expectations are high, I've honed my skills in time management, communication, and leadership. Over the years, I've pursued continuous personal and professional growth, becoming a CIPD qualified HR professional and a mental health first aider. I've immersed myself in courses to enhance my communication skills, refine my management capabilities, and master the art of time management.
Amidst this journey, what became abundantly clear to me was that working mothers are constantly battling with multifaceted challenges. The struggle to balance our careers, nurture our families, and invest in our personal development can often feel overwhelming.
This revelation led to the transformation of NPLBooks. What began as a platform to showcase my writing skills has evolved into a heartfelt mission to support and empower like-minded working mothers.

Born into the lively culture of Trinidad, Nimpha was the eldest child in a single-parent home, alongside two sisters, a brother, and later, a surprise half-brother.
My childhood was a kaleidoscope of experiences – from playing hopscotch and netball to writing music and climbing mango trees.
Singing in the church choir was as much a part of my life as dancing in the colorful carnival parades, displease by one of my religious aunts. Her affectionate but condemning advice just encouraged my bold individualism.
I've always embraced stepping out of my comfort zone, believing in evolving and pushing boundaries every day.
In school, I found solace and adventure in the cool, refreshing river waters, a delightful contrast to my academic pursuits. Evenings were dedicated to learning business, typewriting, and computer skills – a fascination that grew in the era of dial-up internet and shared phone lines. Resources were scarce, but determination wasn't.
I juggled studies with a job to provide for myself and my daughter, who came into my life as a beautiful yet challenging surprise during my final high school years. This period taught me resilience, the value of hard work, and the joy of overcoming obstacles.
Our relocation to Wales marked a new chapter. There, I honed my skills in communication and management while working at a university student union. My journey then led me to Northwest England, where I earned a 2:1 degree in Business Management and Advertising. Alongside this, I became CIPD qualified and a Mental Health First Aider, adding to my repertoire of skills. My career in finance was enriched by encounters with working mothers, whose stories and struggles resonated with me and sparked the transformation of my website
NPLBooks: A Vision for Empowerment
Inspired by these interactions, I refashioned my website from a creative outlet into a platform for harmonizing personal and professional growth. It became a space to share my knowledge and experiences, empowering other working mothers to reach for the stars. My past, filled with restarts and challenges, including welcoming two more 'sons' into my life, has shaped my resolve to support others.
