In most cases, politics are normally associated with well-off individuals, and her parents thought it was impossible for their daughters to thrive in such a field.

Coming from a humble beginning she didn’t have enough material to run her campaign and all she had was only the agenda.

Before getting a car her brother and others traveled for miles selling her to the people through posters that used baking powder as glue.
