what would i do in her place:

If I were in her shoes I would definitely do the same as her, I wouldn't give up, Because I know how difficult her story and trajectory was; And fight prejudice like her. And never lower her head when they humiliate me, she herself created her own products. So I'm sure this woman became a reference for many people.

As we want to be a reference for people, we would redo the same steps as her.
