#IAmAPowerWoman because....
D: I work hard, play hard, and love hard. I always believe that life comes back to love. When you have so much love inside you, you tend to want to do good for the world.
Tell us about your journey as a Power Women (a woman blogger or an entrepreneur).
D: Everything happened naturally, which proves that when you just do what you love, every single day, it will lead you to big things in life. I love writing, photography, fashion, and my blog accommodated all that. Through my blog, I managed to find happiness within myself and be confident of my own skin and decisions.
What are the challenges of being a women blogger or an entrepreneur?
D: Being a woman sort of puts you on the spotlight more, because, women are beautiful objects. So everything is highlighted - the way you dress, the way you take care of your body, the way you think and speak. But women are also powerful creatures. We have great strength and courage, and so naturally caring and loving.
Being a women entrepreneur means you have to juggle between being both soft and strong.
What defines a Power Woman according to you?
D: A power woman is a someone who knows how to push boundaries without losing her grace. It's in the way she thinks and behaves. Her words are elegant and intelligent.
What advice would you give to your girlfriends, women in your life?
D: Accept that women have more, bigger responsibilities than men. Do not fight it. Instead, learn how to work around it and be awesome in it.
If you could have lunch with any Power Woman in the world (dead or alive) who would it be?
D: Victoria Beckham and Angelia Jolie.
