Season 3 - Episode 14: I wanted to look stronger, feel stronger. I wanted to feel more confident. I wanted to feel like I could do what guys can do because I've been told as a kid; “no, you can't do this because you're not a guy” in both American society and Bangladeshi society. “Women are fragile. Women are supposed to need men.” So then when I got into weightlifting, I started feeling like there's nothing really that I can't do just because I'm a female.
So I told myself that I could build a character, if I just put myself out there and took responsibilities, and not rely on my parents and not overwork my parents, even more than what they have been doing their whole life, you know, they came all the way from the village with no electricity to here. And they've had to work a lot, 60 70 hours a week. So I decided that I'm going to learn how to manage my time to be good at my academics. So since high school, I took responsibility to say I'm going to get straight A's, I'm going into a really good college, I'm going to handle my own bills, I started working really young, so that time management came from experience because I put myself out there, I said I'm not gonna learn unless I do it.
I just want to continue to help my clients and even maybe expand my horizon with the type of clients that I have. So I want to get some people into the competitive air every now like I'm trying to see if I could get another Bangladeshi in bodybuilding.
