About 12-15 years ago if someone would have asked me what do I do? I used to tell them an embarrassing "nothing" I mean yeah that's what I was doing. My mum was hell bent on marrying me off and made me stop my education. One of my teachers approached me and helped with the subject of my interest online. I tried telling some people about studying online at first and I still remember the looks on their faces like I have grown two heads obviously we are talking about 15 years ago in Pakistan. So I stick with "nothing".
Fast forward a few years later nobody asked because everyone knew 'she is busy being a mother'. Oh I still am a mother but now my kids do not take much of my time I have got plenty of time for myself and my work. So today when this woman asked what do I do these days? I proudly told her that I'm running a business of my own i.e. I sew custom made baby girls dresses.
Thanks so much for coming to my Ted talk
Bye.
That's an awesome story! It's so inspiring to hear how you took charge and built something for yourself despite the challenges. Those looks people gave you back then must have been wild, but look at you now, rocking your own business! Go you!
