All these women who are watching me or are present with me at this event are warriors for me”.
Samia, in another interview, also said; “these types of events are very beneficial for small scale businesses, especially for women who are working from home. Working from home is not a taboo anymore, and women must come forward with their home-based products and that you can carry on with your passion and simultaneously grow your business too”.
