Born in a country where women were conditioned to stay at home and be busy with house duties and taking care of the children and everyone else.

Undoubtedly, women are very important people in our society because without them, there would not even be a society to begin with. In the words of former First Lady of the United States of America, Michelle Obama, “no country can ever fully flourish if it stifles the true potential of women and deprives itself of the contribution of half of its citizens.”

“That meeting should have been an email!” is what I exclaimed after my fourth meeting of the day at 5 o’clock on a Thursday afternoon. I had enough of sitting in front of my computer screen all day.
