You could say that Mai Kaufman turned her back on society to be home with her family. In the time of multi-hyphenate moms, she gave up everything, including her career in fashion and interior design, ditching red carpet-worthy dresses and high heels to run around the world with her two daughters Alexa and Calista and her husband, entrepreneur David Kaufman. She was also among the first of high-profile women to champion homeschooling after having decided to devote her time exclusively to raising her children.
In a chat over Messenger, Mai told me that, as a family, they didn’t really have any major adjustments under the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ). “We were initially worried about the possibility of catching the virus,” she said. “But thanks to the ECQ, we remained safe at home.”
In our conversation, she reveals more of her thoughts and feelings— and learnings—about our world now, the quarantine, social distancing, homeschooling, and our future.
