She lives in New York City with her husband and two sons. I stumbled upon Hitha during some Instagram stalking and I haven’t stopped stalking her since. She is a woman with a mission - or like 37 missions. I’m inspired by her daily. I think you will be too. I think we all need a little more Hitha in your lives.
