HOW TO EMPOWER WOMEN
PRESIDENT & CEO AMERICAN MUSLIM & MULTIFAITHWOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT COUNCIL (AMWEC) | CALPAK EDUCATION SERVICES LTD. Anila Ali
CHAIRMAN MESSAGE
Empowerment is a process. A gradual process of visibility, conversations, dialogues resources, and recognition. This process is not restricted to marginalized and vulnerable communities or one gender, it is for everyone to become stronger, more confident, and take control of their actions. Involving men in the process of empowering women is necessary to fix the problem from the grassroots level. Men As an Ally of Women Empowerment Men have the most important role in achieving gender equality and promoting women empowerment initiatives. Men as an ally can be a role model in elevating women's access to employment, appropriate working conditions, control of economic resources and full participation in decision-making. 1: Increase your participation in domestic work and family responsibilities to strive for work-life balance together. 2: Advocate for women's access to employment, rights and opportunities. 3: If you are an organization, create positive male role models on gender equality by introducing fair employment practices, anti-discrimination measures, and gender inclusive decission making and by combating sexual harassment in the workplace. In the last i would like to quote Muhammad Ali Jinnah Founder of Pakistan The Ladder Towards Women Empowerment
There are two powers in the world; one is the sword and the other is the pen. There is a great competition and rivalry between the two. There is a third power stronger than both, that of the women.
DR. SYED ARIF JAMAL CHAIRMAN
CEO MESSAGE
I can't think of any better representation of beauty than someone who is unafraid to be herself. A strong woman stands up for herself, a stronger woman stands up for others. Since this is the month of women empowerment i want to shed light on what it signifies. Women empowerment is all about making women both socially and financially independent. it is a process in which women make their own independent decisions. When women are entitled to decide, it gives them a sense of empowerment and more worth. Providing proper education to a girl child is the main agenda of women empowermen. it also includes educating working women and engaging them in job positions. Empowered women can contribute to nation-building by joining various sectors.
In the end i would like to say;
YOU POWER NO ONE IS AND THAT IS YOUR

PRESIDENT & CEO AMERICAN MUSLIM & MULTIFAITHWOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT COUNCIL (AMWEC) | CALPAK EDUCATION SERVICES LTD. Anila Ali
QUESTION 01 Tell us a little bit about your political journey in USA. You ran for the office - how was that experience? Amazing- no regrets. I paved the way for all Muslim Pakistanis to follow their heart. I felt deeply appreciated when the Lawrence de Graff Center for Oral and Public History recognized me as the first ever Democrat Muslim Pakistani to run office in California. I made many and friends and of course, may enemies as is true politics but I came out stronger than I was – more confident to lead women in the path less traveled- politics and public service. QUESTION 02 Why Pakistani American women are not seen that much running for the office in USA , what are the key factors and how do you think we can achieve that statistic of fair representation? We are not encouraged. We are told that our first duty is to our husbands. It took me many years to gather the courage to make decisions for myself. We are not seen as individuals and we are always told to follow the patriarchy which is not at all the right way for Muslim women. Muslim women as seen by the example of our beloved Prophet’s peace be upon him wife, can be CEO’s and hire and fire men. They don’t have to be blindly obedient to them. The more women role models we create, the more our women will find it easier to run for office. That’s what my organization does- empowers responsible Pakistani and Muslim women to become leaders. QUESTION 03 You have been a Democratic representative for years- how do you see VP Kamala Harris as the first female VP of USA. What kind of changes you are seeing in her reign? It was one of the proudest moments of my life to see a South Asian woman break the glass ceiling. I was a Hillary delegate and cried after she lost. So this was a redeeming event. President Biden is a great leader; he wants her to be out there with him for Americans and indeed, the world to see that the values women and so does America. That is a message that I hope men in our community will be inspired by. Women can lead. I think it’s a bit early to tell but VP Harris has already achieved greatness by being the first woman SA VP. I hope that she will bring South Asian communities together in America and help us celebrate the diversity that we cherish. There are many issues in immigrant South Asian communities that she can help with such as domestic violence and the taboos, senior abuse, and lack of cohesion in the South Asian communities. I hope she bring us together under a new coalition to unite us. We have so much in common that we should not let politics blur our vision and our commonalities.
QUESTION 04 What are the social issues and causes that you are passionate about and why? My biggest passion is women’s issues. I have been silenced or marginalized by many Muslim majority organizations that practice patriarchy and misogyny and I have had to fight them alone. The notion that only an Arab woman knows Islam, or only a Hijabi woman is Muslim are the harmful stereotypes that I have to fight. They hurt our women. Right now, the largest Muslim group is South Asian and the most number of Muslim immigrants coming into the US are Pakistanis so we must promote our culture and unite so we are not sidelined. I do not see us represented in the media. Whenever media needs a spokesperson, they turn to males, usually Arabs from Syria or Palestine who do not represent the thriving and vibrant Muslims of South Asia. That has to change. That is why I started AMWEC, because I didn’t feel represented. QUESTION 05 You are the President and CEO of AMWEC. What aspired you to form this organization? (see answer above ) QUESTION 06 In addition to AMWEC, you are also the founder of CalPak- whats the mission and vision of the organization? Calpak is a labor of love. I was born in Karachi. I was asked by USAID to go to Pakistan and advise the US government on education and programs that were running. So I went to Karachi, sadly, for my father’s funeral. I felt I was losing my heritage, my roots, and so I went to see one of the Sindh’s government schools. That was it. A little girl, who was about 7, grabbed my arm, in a empty school, empty classroom, dilapidated building and begged me to teach her. I saw myself in that girl. Had it not been for the education I got from the Catholics Schools in Pakistan, St.Joseph’s, I would not be here. So I decided to get my friends & family to help and educate girls. I hope to run in 2021 but I am still working it out. I love the schools projects and that will not stop. I love the people of Tharparkar and keep going back to them to try to do more to help them. QUESTION 07 What are your future political and/or philanthropic projects?
QUESTION 08 According to you- what are the qualities of a great leader, do women possess different leadership traits than men and why? One of the most important qualities of a good leader is humility. Obama had it, Biden has it and both have our respect. Women do have a unique ability to multitask, get things done, be emotional but know that the job has to be get done. We are expected to be super achievers while men focus on careers, we have to focus on career, home, children, food etc. We pay a big tax to follow our dreams. So we do become more empathetic and sensitive. QUESTION 09 How do you see Pakistan and US relationship in the Biden Administration- what are the current challenges for the newly elected US government? It’s early to tell but I think we have started on the right foot. President Biden has already resumed humanitarian assistance to nations and the travel ban has also been reversed, (which didn’t affect Pakistan at all). If Pakistan wants to ingratiate itself with America, she should think about supporting the empowerment of Palestinians with UAE and Bahrain. Joe Biden has inherited a Muslim world that is more comfortable with Israel. Pakistan should also focus on asking the US to help resume a dialogue on Kashmir. The human rights violation in Kashmir is a reality that President Biden and VP Harris have both spoken about so a positive gesture of good will be to ask for resumption of diplomatic dialogue between India and Pakistan. Biden’s foreign policy will not be sporadic; it will be sustained and consistent. Biden has also announced a global summit to counter the rise in populism which endangers democratic institutions as seen by the January 6th insurrection on the US Capitol. Pakistan’s importance is not any less as a US ally and if Pakistan plays its cards right when it comes to Afghanistan, and brokers a workable deal with Taliban for the US exit from Afghanistan, Pakistan will most likely be back as a trusted US ally. QUESTION 10 What is your special message for the BGN followers and audience especially this is women’s history month? God gave us rights; men took them away. We need to understand that our religion doesn’t demand blind subservience to women but requires us to be equal partners. We need to look back at the history of our religion and learn from the role Hazrat Khadija RA played in Prophet Muhammad’s peace be upon him life. She was a businesswoman, fifteen years older, divorced, with children from previous marriage, and she asked Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him to marry him. She broke all taboos! Why are we not allowing women to flourish and be what they want to be? We must remember that we must uplift each as women so we all can rise.

The word “Woman” itself is very powerful. During my childhood and academic/professional tenure, I was always told I’m bossy and aggressive. Instead I would say “I’m a visionary leader who is ready to create a difference”. Beautiful ladies, You are the captain of the ship and the commander in chief of your destiny. You have the art and warmth to build the future generations. Be that ray of light and the catalyst of positive change; exhibit the joy and confidence in your soul... because you are worth it! Dear BGN followers and fans, I wish all the powerful and passionate ladies “Happy Women’s History Month” Remember to learn “ not we can” but “sure we will” Go empower yourself today
The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new.

HOW TO EMPOWER WOMEN
The number one question I received in my messages is “How to empower women?” I realized that the word “empower” has been used to advertise, sell and often times do the opposite of what it means. Marketers have used the phrase to make huge profits and make women feel like they NEED the product in order to feel empowered. Let’s remember what empower really means. Empower; verb make (someone) stronger and more confident, especially in controlling their life, sharing a resource and claiming their rights.
EMPOWERING WOMEN;
I wish more women realized that helping another woman win, cheering her on, praying for her, or sharing a resource with her, does NOT take away from the blessings coming to them. In fact, the more you give the more you receive. Empowering women does not come from selfishness but rather from selflessness.
-Selene Kinder @empoweringwomennow
SO WHEN YOU HEAR SOMEONE SAY THEY EMPOWER – THINK BACK TO THE REAL DEFINITION OF EMPOWER. HERE ARE THE WAYS YOU CAN EMPOWER WOMEN ON AN EVERY DAY BASIS: Use your buying power. Yes, we make less than men but that doesn’t mean we aren’t the ones who drive the economy. In fact – women influence 83% of spending in the US annually. That is 7 TRILLION dollars a year. We literally have the power to decide what fortune 500 company stays on or off the list. We have the power to support businesses who have women CEOs. We have the power to help women secure their financial future. We have the power to change the fact that women are paid less than men by choosing to buy from them, by choosing to support businesses that support women. Before making a purchase online I google who owns the company and who they employ. It does take some time but I find it worth it. When I’m at a store I look for products featuring the “Women Owned Logo” Here is a running list of businesses that I buy from. Bookmark it for easy access. Need new clothes, shoes, or accessories? Shop at ABLE -a lifestyle brand focused on ending generational poverty through providing economic opportunity for women. I love them for so many reasons. They even publish the wages they pay their employees! Time – Make time to grab coffee with your girlfriends. Check on their mental health. Listen to them and if they ask for it – share your advice. There is something truly powerful when women form strong friendships. Take it a step further and offer to mentor someone. It is easier than it seems. I signed up at the college I graduated from and have had a student shadow me at work. I give her career advice and stay in touch with her. Donate – Find a charity you love, you’ll never regret being kind. For the past 5 years I have donated to Compassion. You can choose who you want to sponsor. I decided to sponsor a young girl. She is now 13 and is still going to school. Most girls at her age are taken out to help at home. Due to the small donation I make every month she will continue to get an education. Use your network – There are times when I am at the right place at the right time and hear of an opportunity that I know will benefit a woman in my life. It can be a small project or a job opportunity. Due to being mindful of my surroundings and remembering that I shouldn’t only be looking out for myself, I have been able to get my friends careers, projects, and gigs. You can empower by simply introducing them to someone in your network. You never know if that relationship will lead to a bigger opportunity. When your intentions are pure you are able to empower women with the things you do every day. Whether it is shopping, sharing a resource like your time, knowledge or network. Empowering women is not hard – however, it does require you to be mindful.
Gre ns ADD TO YOUR MEALS
are considered as the tough tasks to accomplish. Not everyone is fond of keeping up with the schedule and diet plans because they fear to eat the greens. A big part of a healthy diet is relied upon eating salads or substituting normal meals with salads. Not everyone can keep up the pace of eating salads instead of their regular meals and that makes them either quit the diet or have negative effects rather than positive. A diet never states that skipping on regular meals or substituting all of them with salads is going to guarantee the best results. The work of a diet plan is to alter the excessive intake of Healthy diets
Breakfast SMOOTHIES
anything be it carbs, fat or fiber. Therefore, the bubble is needed to be burst that diets have huge part of greens in the form of salads. That is not entirely true. It is not stated anywhere that you have to have full size greens, a big chunk of lettuce or whole bowl of broccoli, you just have to add some of it to your regular meals to maintain a safe balance. Adding spinach, kale and romaine into the dishes you already enjoy can give them a healthy boost—and you may not even be able to taste the difference. Greens are important because they are low in calories and they tend to keep your body hydrated. In addition to it they are loaded with vitamins and minerals that are very essential to boost your bodily functions and eliminate stomach distress or other diseases. As water is needed to keep the body hydrated in a significant amount similarly greens are also needed but just in a significant amount. You do not have to overdo to get better results neither do you have to substitute them completely against your regular meals. There is a way to make your already favorite dishes healthy and rich in greens. Add some spinach, chopped broccoli, kale or parsley into the raw scrambled egg with a pinch of salt and black pepper as preferred. You can also separate the egg whites from the yolks and avoid cheese, there you have a low calorie breakfast omelet. Easy and delicious as before! Breakfast OMELETS Omelets or scrambled eggs are the essentials of breakfast. They are rich in taste and in proteins. However, vegetables might never cross your mind when it comes to breakfast but adding a tad bit of them can actually make this protein packed meal full of iron and fiber, which will help you feel full longer.
A fiber rich smoothie without added sugar is a healthy way to kick start your day. Toss in some greens in it too and get yourself a very effective, healthy drink. The added greens give a rich earthy color as well as the smoothness and it helps freshen up. Leafy vegetables offer a slew of essential nutrients, such as vitamins A, C and K as well as fiber, folate, magnesium, calcium, iron and potassium. Keep it simple and short. Do not overload it with added sugar, fats and the greens. Use the minimal amount of each and add your favorite protein powder if needed. There you have it, a meal rich in protein, fiber and essential vitamins all served at your table. Breakfast OATMEAL Oatmeal itself is rich in fiber which helps boost healthy digestion and can help you stay full longer. Since it has the quality of maintaining healthy digestion it is the go to meal to have when suffering from stomach distress. It is a savory dish hence garnish it with a dash of greens or top it with steamed greens alongside poached egg.
Pasta, ramen, noodles, spaghetti all of these are the favorite shapes of food of almost everyone. It is the most favored dish by the people of all ages around the whole world. Keeping in mind the luscious taste of this beautiful dish, we can add greens in it too. Veggie noodles, often made from zucchini, butternut squash or cucumber, are a great alternative to traditional or whole grain pasta. Add a double dose to your pasta by tossing in some greens in the sauce. You can add shredded broccoli, basil, spinach and avocado in your sauce based on the taste you want. Altogether, they add color, texture, nutrients and taste to your dish cutting down on calories and fat. Din er VEGGIE NOODLES Mix zucchini and scallions in the ground meat batter before turning it into a patty. Then cheerfully sizzle it, grill it, bake it or whatever you like, it is all good to go. Din er TURKEY BURGER Now it is time to enrich meat. You cannot or should not completely exclude meat from your daily meals. Meat is responsible to provide you with proteins and necessary amount of fat which is needed by the body. Exclusion of it can cause your entire diet plan go the wrong way.
Lunch VEGGIE SOUPS
Soups are versatile. They have an innate quality of adapting any type of vegetable or meat put forward them and turn it into a tasteful dish. Soups are hot served therefore they are mostly enjoyed in winters but soups are the healthy home remedy to treat throat ache. They are the best way to toss in different veggies and dish out a complete unique plate full or greens. Toss in some asparagus, blend of herbs and handful of greens like Swiss chard or kale and make your own soup. This way you get to keep a hold on fat, sodium and calcium levels.
You are in a mood to have a cheat meal but you also don’t want to cheat your diet plan. Here is what you need. Just swap the bread of your wrap or burger with lettuce. Exactly. This tiny swap of one basic item cuts down many calories since breads are rich in calories. Swap a spoonful of mayonnaise with homemade hummus for healthier kick. It’s light and creamy with less calories. Add your favorite shape of protein with the necessary greens and there you go. Enjoy your cheat meal without actually having to cheat on your diet plan. Lunch LETTUCE WRAPS / LETTUCE BURGERS
Snack KALE CHIPS
Snack time! Most of the fat and carbs in our body is formed by the junk we eat because we as human are absolutely incapable of giving up on snack time. Snacks are part of our routine. We cannot have movie night without snacks or evening tea time without snacks and the list goes on. Especially kids, they need to fuel up with snacks as if it is a ritual to them. Potato chips are bags of calories. The amount of calories these typical junk bags deliver is incomparable with that we have in our meals the whole day. These junk foods should be avoided at all cases. Instead of potato chips, drizzle kale with olive oil and your favorite spices and bake it for about 15 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit and enjoy.
Healthy body
is a dream, a desire for everyone but only few are there in this world blessed naturally with it. Some people possess such genes that doesn’t allow them to get fat no matter how much they eat, in how much amount they eat nothing actually affects them. Whereas there are some people with genes who get fat by just drinking water. You see that is the problem here. We connect being healthy with not being fat or not being too skinny. That is not the definition of healthy. Healthy is a body that has proper, active functioning organs with low to minimal vulnerability towards catching diseases and the body which glows internally. Being healthy is not at all relative to being fat or being skinny. Rather it is related to being happy and active by all means. Healthy bodies can either be achieved by healthy diets that flushes out toxins from your body internally keeping it hydrated, breathing and active. Or it can be achieved from exercise. A lot of people have a hard time sticking to a rigid schedule of exercises, workouts and gym classes because they are actually stressful. Not all of us have time to spare for such extra activities. Although exercise is a very important aspect that should be, must be a part of our daily routine. About exercise we all have some misconceptions. They do not always have to be carried out with weights and machines. Exercises are more than that. Machines and weights are just the alternates. If followed the right steps of exercises from an early age, there is no need of weights and machines. Keep the following exercises in your daily routine and you will never feel unhealthy.
01 | GO RUNNING 02 | LAUGHING
The first thing in the morning, get up and go running. Running boosts metabolism. When you wake up from your night sleep, it is the time to wake your body up as well. Your body tends to feel slightly lazy after waking up and the best solution to wake it up is to go for a run. Running has proven to be a healthy exercise to fight mental illnesses as well. It fights stress, anxiety, thoughts that pin your mind and provides you with a sense of relief and calm. It helps build up your calve muscles as well. Joint muscles are also strengthened and it increases cardiovascular fitness. Your heart is in the healthiest state when you are on a run. But don’t overdo it. Keep track and keep it short.
Laughter is indeed the best medicine. Laughing carelessly stimulates the heart, muscles, and lungs. It keeps your heart actually happy and healthy at the same time. Laughter increases the level of endorphins in your brain which makes you fight stress and all the pressure you feel. It makes you calm and peaceful. Laughter fills you with happy hormones so laugh it out, laugh out loud!
03 | WALK
AROUND
Walking is the best and far most the easiest exercise that exists. It has many benefits than one can imagine. Walking increases the blood flow in your body. It helps awaken the muscles and energizes you. When you walk, it helps the muscles in your legs all the way up to your spine to maintain a significant posture. This way your body doesn’t lean down and your shoulders stand straight. It helps maintain posture, increases blood flow, awakens muscles, gives you energy, pretty much everything that is responsible to keep healthy body is covered in just one simple exercise – walking.
04 |
BREATHE AND JOG
During this pandemic, we all learned the importance of healthy lungs. The virus makes the lungs weak and so we need to keep our lungs healthy. Lungs can be weakened because of nicotine intake, smoking, drinking, and sometimes it is in the genes. To maintain healthy lungs, just breathe. There is absolutely no rocket science in fact you do this all day. All you have to do is take a long breath in, hold it in for 15 seconds and then release it slowly. This way your lungs engage in active functioning and its ability to remain in that state increases. Jogging is also an easy yet simple exercise. Running and jogging are not similar but they are not too different either. Jogging is basically jumping a tad bit while you run whereas running is like when you used to run like a kid.
05 | CYCLING
Stretching is one of the yoga poses that are mostly advised to be practiced. Period it tones your body curves and strengthens your muscles. While you are laying on the bed perfectly comfortable, stretch your toes and relax. You will feel a sudden rush of blood in your body. It maintains the elasticity of your body as well. Your body muscles have certain levels of elasticity. If you hardly move or do not stretch at all you are likely to experience inconvenience in jumping or in sitting on your feet for too long or joint and muscle pain after lifting heavy objects. To maintain those levels of elasticity it is needed for your body to stretch it out. Therefore the muscles experience those levels of elasticity and strength. 06 | STRETCHING
Cycling has many benefits. First of all the pollution caused by vehicles and automobiles is seriously injurious to health. Cycling is a non-polluting alternate of traveling. You get to be where you want to be and let’s face it you get to exercise a little as well. It strengthens muscles and posture. When you are cycling your spine is in a certain rigid position which helps in maintaining posture. It strengthens bones and increases the flexibility of your body. In addition to it, it is doctor recommended that cycling helps in cardiovascular fitness. People suffering from heart diseases are suggested to cycle because it keeps your heart pumping at a certain level breaking the minor blockage. It is fun and you can substitute it from your traveling mediums. The act or position of balancing yourself is the second most advised or practiced act of yoga. Balancing is important as it keeps your body toned. If you are able to balance yourself equally from all sides than your growth is more likely to be equally linear. All your body parts are equally elastic. This act also provides calm and peace to your mind and heart. It is a practice that tends to bring a feeling of strength and power to your inner self. 07 | BALANCING
08 | SQUATS
Squats tend to keep the body in its perfect shape. Each body has its own type. Either it is hourglass, cylindrical, sphere, triangular or rectangular. Thus these types define the curves and silhouettes of your body. They are needed to be toned. Squats help reduce belly fat. It is far most the best way to get rid of belly fat faster than any other remedy of exercise. It strengthens the thigh muscles and hip joint. Holding on to a squat also levels your upper body that is your spine in adequate posture. It maintains the shoulder and spine position which eliminates clumsy or bulging posture.
09 | LUNGES
In addition to squats, lunges are very easy yet beneficial exercise. It strengthens muscles, knee joint mainly and increases flexibility of your body over all. It also maintains the posture of your spine or upper body keeping it perpendicular to your dominate leg.
If all of these are still stressful to keep up with then just play. Play like a child. Engage in any activity, any sport any work being done. Just be active as much as you can. Because you might not know but while you are engaged in any physical activity you are actually exercising in a certain manner. The only difference is that your mind is not conscious about it. Therefore, play like you used to when you were a kid. Kids are happy and healthy because they care less and just bring out all the energy to the table they possess. When we get older life begins to get intense but that doesn’t mean you can never have that time again. Never kill the child in you, it keeps you alive well in this case it keeps you healthy. 10 | PLAY LIKE A CHILD

AGE OF
Its 2003, a typical Sunday morning. The season of winters is upon us and it is quite unusual to get up and leave your bed. Since it is Sunday, it is a family day and so your father has planned an exciting day out for you. You get up with a sudden rush of excitement and you start wondering what to wear. Then, in comes your mom with an outfit already selected for you – a blue jeans and a black turtleneck. Sounds awful doesn’t it? Back in the day turtlenecks were considered the most awful attire to wear. All of our childhoods have one thing in common and that is turtleneck. Our moms were so fond of turtlenecks they didn’t think of any other outfit even considerable. Despite the fact turtlenecks make you look adorable, it was also the most hated outfit by almost all of us when we were young. We thought of it as a ‘punishment’ outfit. As the eras changed and fashion evolved we are again back in the day when turtlenecks set the trend. In the 21st century turtlenecks have become the permanent part of trend. They are now popular among many of the influencers, fashion icons and models. It is now basically the go to outfit which is suitable in all the event. The revival of turtlenecks has left other tees and shirts out of league. It is easy to pair with anything, comes in whole lot of colors and comes in comfortable fabrics.
POPPING COLORS IN FASHION
In the early times, turtleneck used to come in only the basic colors which were black, beige and white so that it can be worn under shirts and tees to keep you safe and warm in breezy winters. But in today’s day there are as many colors as you want available. Turtlenecks are no longer worn under other clothes just to serve the purpose of keeping you warm rather it is now more of an individual outfit. Some colors have the audacity to remain long lasting and ever green. No matter what era or century it is, some colors never go out of style. These are the colors that bring out personalities of individuals the best. Black, White and Grey. The 21st century’s generation is more leaned towards subtle and elegant appearance when it comes to colors. They prefer blacks and whites the most. When it comes to turtlenecks, whites and black are easy to pair with any or most of the bottoms. Be it skinny or narrow jeans, high waist or bell bottoms, pant suit styled pants they are a perfect match. With whites and blacks you can pair it with blue, black or beige color bottoms of choice.
Other than the basic colors the most highlighted colors are the popping colors that catch attention of the eyes immediately. These are the warm colors in nature. A bright red or maroon. Or the signature cool color teal. Turtlenecks in these colors make the entire appearance aesthetic. They compliment all skin colors and are a perfect match if paired with white jeans or ripped jeans that are highly in fashion currently. The new fad of turtlenecks is its collection in neon colors. Neon colors are the odd colors that do not come in variety of clothes because of its bright, sharp outlook and the fact that they are not easy on eyes. But the fabric used in turtlenecks cancels out the sharp and edgy feel of these colors. The most common neon color that comes in turtlenecks is neon greenish - yellow.
We all understand that how important it is to spot the difference between party and casual looks. Not every outfit can be worn any time of the day. There is a certain difference and timing to match with the perfect outfit. On the other hand there are not many outfits available that look good as a casual wear as well as a party wear. Luckily, turtlenecks are multipurpose. Just match it with the right accessories and you can wear it any time of the day. If you are looking for a casual, out day wear then accessories it with a pair of watch, subtle small earrings, sneakers and a pair of jacket on top. But if you are looking for a party, evening wear then add on some long neck chains and high boots. You are good to go. It is the easiest and the versatile, comfortable wear outfit of all times. No doubt we have hated the look for so long in the past but as we grow up, we genuinely understand that comfort is always, always over style. But if you get comfort with style, that’s just bonus point. ACCESSORISE IT!
DUAL FUNCTIONALITY
The amazing fact about turtlenecks is that they are not gender associated. They can be worn by both men and women and still manage to bring out different personalities and looks. They are not too girly that would appear less for men and not too manly that would appear not suitable for women. They are the perfect fit for both. Variety of colors, versatility in purpose and aesthetic appeals what does anyone want besides all this, that too with comfort. For men, the whole look stands out in just one color – black. Shades of grey are also highlighted colors in men’s fashion along with shades of blue and sometimes, rarely, salmon shade of pink. But for most of it, black tops the list. The perfect outfit for a winter wedding is a turtleneck paired with a black blazer with black dress pants. Fashion is all about comfort with style. If either one of it is neglected the outcome is near to disaster. After the age of turtlenecks there have been many trends but none of them were revived after centuries. The reason was that they might have been best in terms of style but they weren’t close enough to provide comfort. The revival of turtlenecks roots with only one cause which is comfort with style and that seals the deal.

BREAKING CAGES As the world emerges from the dreadful shortcoming of all times, a global pandemic, with a chance and tons of new opportunities at hand to look on to the better future, it is the perfect time to acknowledge the success of entrepreneurs and their rise in the brand new era. This pioneer is playing a very important role in the business world. Great minds with great ideas are behind this approach. This is the youth of 21st century which has set new measures and has left the world in awe with their accelerating growth, progress and exposure in the business world.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP In case you’ve been hiding in a hole, there’s a global revolution going on and it’s called “entrepreneurship”!
Setting your own goals and having the flexibility to live life on your own terms is the new achievement of this generation. They have become more goal oriented than career oriented because they have learned the importance of time and dominance of goals over career. Goals keep you motivated while career can turn out to be a dead cause. In the year 2021, the business world in more likely to experience entrepreneurs and new emerging business starting from zero. They will notice the wave of brand new, out of the box ideas that will be likely to outrun the existing ones. Being the CEO of the world you have designed on your own, in essence! The possibilities are abundant, whether you have a light-bulb moment and produce an invaluable innovation, buy into a franchise and pursue a tried-and-tested strategy, or develop a direct sale company with low set-up costs but great potential.
When we used to talk about entrepreneurs we used to relate to the achievements of Richard Branson and Mark Zuckerberg. But in the present time, you don’t need to have an idea as big as Virgin or Facebook to become successful. Now all you need is an idea, a basic striving idea with potential in it. We are here talking about running your own business whether small or big, it just have to be distinctive. The era of entrepreneurs have emerged so strong that now being one is not a bigger deal. The vision has now become to get what you want by your ways from stepping into the business world with no back. The idea of entrepreneurship scared people in times back then. It delivered the sense that only people with strong, sustainable backgrounds can step into this game and get a chance to win. People used to opt for jobs and other vacancies rather taking risk on their own and becoming who they want. But since the pandemic made every one of us realize the major concept of survival of the fittest, it changed the definition of entrepreneurship.
EMERGENCE AND RISE
RISE OF MOM-PRENUERS There is a surprising fact in the success of entrepreneurship. Unlike all other businesses, it is evolving from all sectors of the society. It is completely unrestricted by gender and age. Although in prior times it was reported that still the entrepreneurial growth is accelerated by predominant men in the business world. However, now the tables have turned. Women are subjected as the least interested creature on earth primarily in business without even taking their consent. But the universe has it’s own ways of revealing the truth. Indeed, necessity is the “mother” of invention. When women are concerned, the rise took place from the core of the community, mothers. While mothers were home all the time, they engaged in the trend of running their businesses from home and rose to the occasion of inventing a brand new term – Mompreneur! This is a safe place for women to work. They sought it as their ultimate achievement and they proved it hundred percent right. It provides them with flexibility which allows for raising a family on their own. Single mothers or mothers in marriage, all came together strong with confidence and made it happen. Such enterprise undoubtedly deserves encouragement. More power to you!
The need to validate oneself in provision of job security has gradually transitioned into the conception of need or necessity as the mother of invention and towards the rise of entrepreneurism. The businesses which survived a whole year in global shutdown were observably the ones which full filed the needs of the public, that served a valuable, noticeable cause, those which had a purpose, purpose of survival. Put the word in the search box and you will get millions of businesses ranging from independent TV shows to travel agencies to state agents and much more. The business world is finally expanding its wings beyond the limits, beyond the old school patterned world. A rapid increase of bloggers, v-loggers, content creators and artists have been noticed in the past year as everyone was locked into their comfort zones, it made them unleash their true talents. The world suffered from lack of appreciation prior to shutdown. It had little to no idea that what we have today might not be the case tomorrow. Due to many losses around the whole world, the business world experienced rapid economical fall. Many people loss their jobs, some were fired while some didn’t have a job to go to as the business itself was descended. This gave the push to entrepreneurs, a push they needed for so long. They came out open in the world without the fear of lack of appreciation, lack of exposure, chances of failure and the fear of risk.
GEARED UP BY TECHNOLOGY Stats show a rapid increase in number of entrepreneurs. There must be a reason to it. The reason is resource. Back in the day, newbies didn’t have much exposure to the resources. All they had was very precise and they had to workout in that amount. The 21st century is fuelled by technological advancements. Today, there are innumerable resources young, emerging entrepreneurs can take hold of and bring into their best use. This in turn has expanded the finance options open to entrepreneurs looking to launch businesses and carry out transactions on a day-to-day basis. Introducing a new business, product or service into the market is simple and easy task now. The hustle of making a significant exposure in the market by acknowledging it from door to door through word of mouth has gradually been replaced by just a click away. Digital marketing has opened more doors than ever for entrepreneurs. It has made their life easier and convenient. The most devastating point that used to stress entrepreneurs was how to consume time and get the job done as soon as possible is now not a problem to think about at all. Entrepreneurs are increasing in numbers on almost every social media or business platforms. Fiverr, LinkedIn, Freelancers are just few names that cater entrepreneurs the best. Notably, the development of online crowdfunding has enabled a whole new generation of innovative entrepreneurs to launch successful businesses which may otherwise have struggled to find funding.
THE NEXT BIG THING One of the qualities of a good entrepreneur is to be able to forecast the next big thing coming their way. Be it an idea, a threat of competition or an advancement regime, they can sense it. It is rooted in them and that is what makes entrepreneurs stand out in the business world. Where once computers and internet were a big news it is now rooting for an entire new business world – the world of online businesses. Entrepreneurs have provided their own separate platforms online which has made their job much, much easier than before. They are not in competition anymore. Because you compete with people similar or comparable to you. Whereas the online business world is two steps ahead of physical business world which posses a threat to it not a competition. The online business world has given birth to many entrepreneurs in the past year especially. There are a number of artists, designers, developers, agents and business hog minds that were living under their shells till the bomb finally exploded and they break free from the chains of fear. So it seems that the revolution of the entrepreneur that was once just begun has now outgrown its own existing identity. With the growing number of tools at their disposal, plus increasing encouragement, a whole new wave of plucky entrepreneurs are just set to take the plunge. And this is not the end, this is merely the start of a new revolution. A revolution that will change the definition of entrepreneurship entirely.
