From Poverty To Fame: The Story of Overcoming Adversity | Chanel Ayan

From Poverty To Fame: The Story of Overcoming Adversity | Chanel Ayan

In this episode, we have the incredible Chanel Ayan. You might know her as the feisty character from Real Housewives of Dubai but on this episode we had a very unique chat. Ayan opened up about her difficult childhood, educated us all about female genital mutilation (FGM) as a survivor herself, and we talked about embracing success while balancing family responsibilities. I loved this conversation, and I am sure you will too, tune in!
