As an entrepreneur, I give back to society by creating jobs, serving as a female role model, and mentoring other female leaders, thus contributing to positive social impact and empowerment.
What’s the best piece of advice you've ever received?

This year’s International Women’s Day themes are focused on investing in women and inspiring inclusion. What can we do to make today’s workplaces more equitable and inclusive for women?
Workplaces must prioritize becoming more equitable and inclusive for women, achieved through inspiring women to pursue leadership roles, implementing systemic changes to support their advancement, and emphasizing the promotion and elevation of feminine female leaders who exemplify qualities of grace and empathy.
We must ensure immediate access to substantial financing for all female entrepreneurs who embody the true qualities of inspired leadership.
What are you looking forward to this year? Are there any goals (personal or professional), activities, or experiences you are excited about?
This year, I'm eagerly anticipating scaling my business and publishing my debut book, while also prioritizing investments in both personal and professional growth.
