Females are capable of everything

 “I was refused because I am a woman, I received an email stating sorry although you are very qualified but this is a man job you can’t do it ” 

I always dreamed of being a director of photography, but I had so many struggles from Egyptian society and traditions, the idea of me working in a job that is dominated by men was so hard. people co
uldn’t accept the idea that I could handle it and I wouldn’t be respected in the locations or by people who works with me I faced too many situations even my parents when they saw that I am taking this seriously and I want it as my job they weren’t accepting that I will work in a man job where I have shoots at late night and I work with a lot of men.

 but what did I do next? I proved them all wrong, I started working so hard on myself,
I wanted them to look at me in a different way I wanted to prove that women  can handle  it and be respected  and it’s not only a man job I wanted to break the boundaries of the Egyptian society ,by the time my parents started to believe that I could handle it and that I am really successful in what I do and the society started to accept me that I am a women and work in a man job ,I even started my own production house and now clients know me and those who one day didn’t believe I could do it same as a man wish that they could work with me, “an advice I wish someone told me 5 years ago is to never give up dream big don’t let anything stop you, you can do it”.
