I have been working on farms since I was 10 years old, starting with my family's farm in Myanmar. My parents were poor farmers who could only afford to send me and my siblings to work from a young age. It wasn't easy but it taught me how to be strong and independent.
As I grew older, I began to notice the way that the men on our farm would look at us women with disdain. They thought we were inferior just because of our sex, which is why they made us do all the hard labor while they did nothing but sit around all day.
But I never let their words get to me. Instead, I took pride in my work and showed them that I was just as capable as any man. And when I turned 30, I decided it was time for a change and left the farm to start working in the city. Now, at 50 years old, I'm proud of what I've accomplished and the life I've built for myself. I still live on the outskirts of the city, but now I own my own small business making traditional Myanmar clothing.
I have always been fascinated by the beauty of traditional Myanmar dresses and how they symbolize our culture and heritage. And that's why I decided to create a fashion line inspired by these beautiful garments.
It was not easy, but it has been rewarding seeing my designs come to life on runways and in stores. People from all over the world have admired my creations and complimented me on them
