I am also inspired by my daughter Inirah who makes me want to be a better leader and a selfless role model.
Audrey: What advice would you give to other homeless or impoverished women?
India: I would advise other impoverished women to make a step forward and don’t be afraid to give yourself a chance! No matter your circumstances you can always take one step towards your goal.
