"Sometime last year, I turned down a ‘student job’ paying $ 540 a month. I didn’t necessarily have a back up plan but I was determined to make much more than that. 4 months into the new year, and I have done exactly that."

According to Shamima, her business, IBS Consulting has increased in revenue by 200% and it has been in existence for just 16 months with operations in Moscow, Sudan, Uganda, Japan and other countries.

"We have increased our revenue by over 200% since opening our doors 16 months ago. This year, I have worked with clients from Moscow, Sudan, Uganda, Japan and so many more places I never thought could be possible. I don’t take all the credit for our growth."

The 21-year-old business owner went ahead to thank people who have been pillars of support in her life and have contributed to the success of her business.
