"I feel that being so young starting my own business, from something which I loved so passionately (Henna and Make-up), with hardly any guidance and support, I was able to show women, especially young women of ethnic background, that anything is possible if you put your mind to it. With effort and determination you can achieve great success. Being a Welsh Bengali Muslim woman, I've proved that background, race or religion is not an obstacle in achieving one's dreams".
