„My mentor Natasha supported me in my educational and professional growth, showing me the value of having someone who believes in you and guides you forward. This experience inspired me to pass it on—to be a source of knowledge, motivation, and encouragement for young women and girls. I believe in the power of women’s solidarity and in the idea that, through mutual support, we can overcome barriers and create equal opportunities for all.“
