What does life as a woman or girl look like in your country/city/town/village? Any issues/challenges/milestones?
In my country, women have succeeded in different fields all over the years. In the 21 century, they’re not seen anymore as #womenwerecreatedtobehousewives. Nowadays they have a voice, they stand up for the highest positions in society. Some are businesswomen but also invest their time and energy in their family - not forgetting what matters the most!
What would you like the world to know about YOU? What life experience, challenge or achievement do you want to share?
I've got a Masters Degree in International Trade but I'm still applying for a PhD. I started a company of export/import but I'm still trying to make it work. Challenges are faced everywhere whether you’re a man or a woman!
What are you most passionate about and what are you doing with that passion?
I’m passionate about drawing and teaching. My company is about textiles so I draw my models. Meanwhile, I teach English. Teaching allows me to share what I learned to someone else who could also do the same...
How have the women and girls around you helped you to get to where you are today?
They were a source of inspiration. I met incredible girls and women who made me feel I can also do it. Listening to them, to their past experiences, the challenges they went through... I’m on my way to success too!
