What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship we're facing currently is on making ends meet, my husband is jobless and most of the times we rely on my hairdressing business to fend for the family,the income is not much to sustain us.

The happiest part of my day is normally in the morning when I get calls from my customers to go fix their hair,from this I'm able to get some income that helps in sustaining my family.
