Imagine stepping into a world where you don't speak the language, you don't know the customs, and you're starting from scratch. That was my reality when I moved to the UK. The transition was challenging, but it was also the beginning of an extraordinary journey that would lead me to create Thriving Women in Business, a digital magazine that amplifies the voices of women in business and celebrates their stories of perseverance, growth, and success.
Without knowing the language, every task—from grocery shopping to finding a job—felt like an uphill battle. But I was determined. I took every opportunity to learn, practicing English daily, immersing myself in the culture, and building my confidence. The language barrier was tough, but overcoming it opened doors I never thought possible.
As my English improved, I began to explore new opportunities. My curiosity for business and entrepreneurship grew, and, during pandemic, I became fascinated by how women were breaking through barriers and thriving in their industries. This curiosity soon turned into a passion.
In my digital journey, I realized there was a need for a platform dedicated to sharing the stories of women in business. Women who, like me, had faced challenges and had found ways to rise above them. That’s when the idea for Thriving Women in Business was born.
Thriving Women in Business is more than just a digital magazine—it’s a movement. It’s a place where women from all walks of life can share their stories, inspire others, and celebrate their wins, no matter how big or small. From seasoned entrepreneurs to women just starting, the magazine is a testament to the strength and resilience of women in the business world.
Through the magazine, I’ve had the privilege of sharing the stories of women who have overcome incredible odds. Some started with nothing, juggling multiple jobs while launching their businesses.Â
Others have faced personal or societal barriers, whether cultural, financial, or gender-based, yet they persevered. Each story is unique, but they all share a common thread: determination.
Whether it's breaking into male-dominated industries, overcoming self-doubt, or balancing business with personal responsibilities, their stories are a reminder that nothing is impossible when you believe in yourself and your vision.
As Thriving Women in Business grew, so did my opportunities. I began co-authoring books with other incredible entrepreneurs and businesswomen. These collaborations allowed me to dive deeper into the stories of success and resilience, offering even more insight into what it takes to thrive in the world of business.
Alongside the magazine and book projects, I also landed a dreamy job that aligns with my passion for hospitality. It’s proof that when you follow your passion and work hard, doors open in unexpected ways.
Now, I want to extend an invitation to all women in business. If you have a story to tell, if you’ve faced challenges and come out the other side stronger, Thriving Women in Business is your platform. We want to hear from you. Whether you’re launching your first business or you’ve been at it for years, your story deserves to be shared.
Being published in the magazine not only provides visibility for your business but also inspires others who are walking a similar path. It’s an opportunity to be seen, be heard, and be part of a community of women who are breaking barriers and thriving together.
