One of the key indicators for empowerment is through education. My personal area of interest is empowerment. I know that's a term that's thrown around a lot. My life has been a series of finding my own confidence and my own self. Empowerment, it's a very powerful thing for me. Empowerment, especially for women, is one of my areas of interest. Is an emotion, it's a feeling. There really is very little way to measure it. But one of the key indicators for empowerment is through education, something that I'm super passionate about. Education for women in all countries, in our own country, in developing countries, it is really the ticket to higher levels. It's the biggest indicator for change, for building resilience through education. We build resilience, we develop empowerment. This is the only thing that can break generational cycles for people, whether it be poverty or family situations. One of the codes to true success is really just focusing on a purpose and a bigger why outside of ourselves. Another thing that I'm passionate about alongside education is technology. Because what we're seeing now happening with technology and AI, I think is really just the beginning. The one thing that can really facilitate education is technology. We're beyond the books and brick and mortar schools model. Technology and AI is really going to have super important place in education and the empowerment of women.
