“I think that we women are strong. We’re independent, even though we don’t always show it. Sometimes we prefer to have another person to guide us, regardless of whether it’s a father, mother, husband, or sibling. But I believe that women have that sense, that feeling, that they can. And we shouldn’t let them tell us ‘We can’t do it.’ Instead, we think, ‘Of course I can.’ For me, an ideal world would be one where women can express themselves and they’d be free to be who they want and no one’s opinion is necessary for us to feel good. That is my dream.” ‒ Ileana Anaid Sulub Cab
Ileana participated in the Empowering Women and Youth Through Graduation and Financial Inclusion project funded by MetLife Foundation.
