Hi,

When did you acquire the skills that enabled you to launch Mzalendo and the 
others, was it during your pregnancy, after the delivery or before both events?

Re radical ideas and kids. 

Mzalendo grew and went live when I was pregnant with my first child, Ushahidi 
was born when I had a 10 month old and I quit my job to build the organization 
behind it when I had another on the way, expecting number 3 after recently 
joining Google and I'm sure I will continue to have new ideas there :-)
