He also explained the role of support system and how vital it is to make a person what he aspires to be.

Maham Ali’s journey dates back to her childhood passion of writing, drawing and collecting stationery items from her pocket money. She talked about the chapter of her life when she got married and had to move to Paris with her husband. She discussed how moving alone and being in a different country without a job or family pushed her to start her blog and how she started making friends and connections through it.

Maham's blog eventually became a source of happiness for her and an indispensable part of her life. She started getting employment opportunities and was approached by different brands to talk about their products and services. Another advantage of her blog was that she was able to network with like-minded people from similar interests and backgrounds.
