Through WE CAN, I met professionals who are ready to assist in my entrepreneurial and mentorship journey, something I am extremely grateful for. As a person with disability it is not always easy to make real connections as most people are not so Disability friendly. Hence, my deep gratitude to WE CAN for such opportunities.
