Just start something!…
“To every woman out there, just start something! Do not wait until you have all you need, no one gets all their needs met in the early days. If I hadn’t started the campaign against sexual abuse, I wouldn't have discovered that there is such a need for sanitary pads in Nigeria. You can start, no matter how small, and surely you will grow bigger.”
