I was born poor in the poorest U.S. state, Mississippi. I became a single mom at 17 and started working for Emirates at 21. While on the job, I met a wealthy older Emirati man who pursued me, and we eventually married.
Thanks to my husband, I was able to give my son a good life. He’s now a happy, well-adjusted 23-year-old medical student. I was also able to help my family build a better life and give away money to help others.

It’s not much, but it’s honest work.
