The road is not al­ways smooth for women en­tre­pre­neurs, but sur­round your­self with peo­ple who be­lieve in you, nev­er let any­one tell you that you can’t do it and God will di­rect your path to suc­cess.

When asked how she start­ed her jour­ney of be­com­ing a busi­ness­woman, the moth­er of two ex­plained that since her school days, she would save every dol­lar, some­times walk­ing home in­stead of tak­ing a taxi, just buy­ing phones to bring back and sell to her friends.
