Leila – One of the cool kids who rock Asia!

~ natasha devalia

Leila is a true product of Asia, conceived by IVF in Gujarat, born in Hong Kong, lived in Chengdu until age 3, Koh Samui until a year ago and now Bangkok; and she certainly rocks! (Of course it’s not just because she’s my daughter that I’m saying this!😉 Seriously though, she’s one of the most inspiring people I’ve ever met. I’m just lucky to be her mum.) #proudmama
