Then jobe due to COVID, I couldn’t go to Australia, where I was working. This led me to leave my job there. Initially, a local company in Dhaka approached me to work on their blogging. However, I was looking for a job, and they offered me one, so I worked for 6 months. But I wanted to work on my blogging because offers were coming in from many places. So, I left my job and started brand promotions. Despite some initial uncertainty, my mother encouraged me. From the very beginning, I received a lot of support from both my mother and husband. Their contributions have been significant to my success.”
