Poppy Pops Madela is a mother to a one year old  boy and a wife to a 30 something year old preacher. “Having both these two special men in my life while balancing a career in the television industry, ministry and life in general is a whole lot of work and I do not quite know how I do it. God’s grace, prayer and a lot of coffee help each day seem easier than the next, I guess.”

Poppy is a photographer by passion, a content researcher by profession and she says she would not give up a single second of this amazing journey that is called motherhood. Her advice to to all young mom’s trying their best with what they have is to ‘keep at it, because they’re doing great!”

Being a mom to three boys, aged 7, 11 and 15, Kathryn rose to the challenge and yet another great idea was born – Money Savvy Kids. By harnessing all she had learnt over the years, Kathryn saw the importance of ensuring children grow up with sound money savvy skills that can only come from being financially liberate.
