Who is a woman who’s made an impact on your career?
Actually three not one.
First, my grandmother. She literally saved my life by rescuing me from poverty. She didn’t just keep me alive; she armed me with the essential skills to navigate a tough childhood. She gave me a foundation.
Second, my mother. From the confines of a tiny village grocery shop, she somehow saw a future bigger than our circumstances. Despite the poverty, the chaos, and a complete lack of guidance, she pushed me toward boundaries she probably couldn't even see herself. She taught me to reach for the impossible.
And finally, my wife. She is the engine of our daily life. While I focus on work and study, she runs our home and supports our family with relentless, tireless focus. She gives 100% at home so that I can give 100% at work and continue studying.
A statement for others:
If you are a man reading this, ask yourself: Who are the women holding me up?
If you are a woman reading this, especially one who feels unseen in your daily labor: We see you. We know that behind every "self-made" man is usually a mother, a grandmother, or a partner who created the space for him to grow.
Thank you to the women who build the foundation for the men who stand today. 🖤
