In her interview, she sheds lights on what inspires her to do more

•What difficulties or barriers have you faced becoming a successful career woman?
Being a successful woman never means that you are no more the mother, the wife or the woman in society.
So for all the responsibilities related to the different roles that you play, there are conflicts. Conflicts with family and social commitment and the difficulty is often how to balance it even though you know that the perfect balance does not exist.
                                          
•What's the hardest thing about being a woman at the top?
To be seen not as a woman but a competent manager who has built her reputation by her hard work.

•After all the success in your career, what keeps you going or inspires to do more?
I dreamed, I believed, I tried, I faced several barriers, I doubted, I failed, I achieved, I inspired. 
It was a chance in a million. It was God’s grace.
I want to keep the door opened and to go along where I never dream of.

•How can successful women use their voices and influence to help other women?
There are several ways. Across the world, there are lots of forums that allow women to use their voices and to mentor others.
Also, by sharing experiences, inspirations and aspirations.

•How do you achieve work life balance?
There is nothing work-life balance but only life balance. Family is the major component. No matter what you do, you have to organize your life around the balance of the family even if you take up more responsibility at work. When you this it means you have succeeded.

•What’s your current favourite song?
Believe by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey.
