Rise again after the explosion. nour, when you look back, what were some of the hurdles you faced at the beginning? well, i started my entrepreneurialjourney a couple of weeks before the revolution started. so, it has been a chain of challenges because after that, a few weeks later, we had the banking crisis, and the lira devaluation. later on, we had the covid crisis, up until later in the summer, the beirut blast. i was feeling very scared and i wanted to give up so many times because i didn t really know what was going on and things were going. were drifting from the way we had planned them. but with the determination and the experience of my partner and the fact that we encouraged each other, we were able to keep going.
