Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My journey of growth and transformation is my greatest inspiration. I’ve rebuilt my life from the ground up multiple times. At just 21 years old, I became a single mother in Pakistan—a society where, even today, it’s nearly impossible for a woman to navigate life alone, let alone two decades ago. Yet, I persevered. I raised my son, who has grown into a remarkable young man—a passionate soccer coach, a fashion model, and a business major soon to graduate.

How do you stay motivated?

Every story of resilience and every life I help transform fuels my motivation. It reminds me why I started this journey and why I’ll continue pushing forward. My goal is to create a ripple effect of empowerment so no one feels trapped or alone. Seeing people step into their strength and reclaim their lives is the ultimate reward and the reason I remain dedicated to keep going and keep creating change through my podcast and my work at Empowerment Square.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I will invest this amount into my businesses to reach more people and create a bigger impact.
