Share a little about your entrepreneurial journey. And do you come from an entrepreneurial background?
I was an employee for 5 years in training and education in a mental arithmetic school which belongs to a Malaysian franchise group in Morocco. I did not want to stay as an employee all my life, so I decided to start entrepreneurship with my micro-enterprise. I completed a course of economic and legal studies so I can mobilize all my knowledge to realize my entrepreneurial dream.
