I Work In Areas Related To Child Protection And Family Safety, Women's Empowerment, The Creation Of Opportunities For Youth, And Culture And Tourism. Daunting? Yes. Impossible? No. In Fact, Such Challenges Energize Me.

My Role Models Are People Who Can Do Things; I Say To Myself, "i Wish I Could Do That." Like Women Who Endure Hardships And Turn Their Luck Around And Bring Up Children On Their Own And Start A Business. Or A Social Worker Who Leaves His Country, His Comfort, His Friends, And Goes Far Away To Help People He Doesn't Know. I Want To Evolve Into That, Ultimately. I Want To Be That Person Who Could Sacrifice Everything For Others.

I Have Nothing Against The Veil. And I Think That, Wrongly, Many In The West Look At The Veil As A Symbol Of Oppression.
