Female Kemcolian Graduates in Foreign Lands: Challenges and Solutions

Abstract

You are a Female Kemcolian graduate. Deep in your heart, you know you are amazing, have made this far and in the words of Professor Mumtaz Hassan, one of the “best of the best” to “make it to KE” When you graduated, you saw endless possibilities in front of you that life could offer and rightfully so! For you sky is the only limit and as a Kemcolian woman, you can definitely break all the barriers, no matter what stage of life you are in. However, at some point, life hits you. Maybe it is a parent passing away, a difficult relationship or a child’s disability. Or perhaps it is just “uncertainty” where being a female is the only “demerit” you think you have . So how to “not lose your worth” in those times when you feel that everyone around you, all your classmates and even the ones junior to you, are way ahead and you are the only one left behind?
