BEING A WOMAN, WHAT MAKES YOU POWERFUL IN THIS COMMUNITY?
"We should all feel significant I think, as women and I really think it’s the inequality that we are characterised as women and not you know having high spots in the community and when you do have a high spot in the community, it’s a surprise. It’s easy to impress people. So that’s kind the kind of power that we have. Being a woman to me isn’t really a power because everyone can do what he or she wants. Women can do as well and everyone can do what men can do and in my current community it's women are as significant because we produce offspring and we have a cultural background to raise our children in that in that culture and we're the ones that yet take care of our children instead of partners."
WHAT ARE SOME PERSONAL EVENTS THAT HAVE IMPACTED HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT BEING A WOMAN?
"Well, it's really different in my family because I'm lucky to be created by my parents but they say I’m someone that needs more protection. And it's not that my parents are sexist but they are more strict on my rule of saying what I have to do."
TALK TO ME ABOUT YOUR FUTURE PLANS AND DREAMS...
"Well, I really hope to be contributing to the community whether it's from human rights to environmental issues. I just want to be someone that is looked up to and I can inspire a younger generation."
DO YOU HAVE A ROLE MODEL, SOMEONE YOU LOOK UP TO?
"I don't really have a specific person I'm really influenced by a lot of people. I have a lot of social media followings and I follow people that I think are significant to our society and the world, especially by people I'm really inspired by."
IF YOU WERE TO BE PORTRAYED IN A PORTRAIT OF YOURSELF, HOW DO YOU SEE IT?
"I just recall going back to my point of wanting a helpful contributor to the world. I want to be surrounded by people that wanted to change the world and have a significant impact on you guys. So if you were to capture like, gender equality and environmental awareness and you know equity and just basic human rights that everybody should know right."
