At the Marketplace of Stories you will learn about paths toward economic independence and in breaking free of societal structures and pressures that attempt to limit women in their daily lives.
These are stories of love of art and crafts, love of children and sources of inspiration.
Sometimes bad things happen in life but we discover that they are new opportunities, an open door. My husband was in an accident. He was not able to work for an entire year, and our financial situation became increasingly difficult. This situation made him deaf to the gossip of people. Due to this my adventure as an self-employed woman started.”
