Habiba
'Habiba' honors my grandmother, a source of deep inspiration. Despite few meetings, her story left a lasting impression. She exemplified kindness and empowerment, working as a midwife, farmer, market vendor and basket weaver, caring not only for her own children but also for struggling children in the village. Her resilience fuels my drive for empowerment and social change. She remains a timeless inspiration, guiding my journey with strength and compassion.
