Rokia Afzal Rahman was one of the most famous icons of women empowerment in Bangladesh.

It is said that a successful South Asian entrepreneur is able to run business anywhere in the world as they have the skills to overcome multifaceted barriers in almost every step of the entrepreneurial journey. 

As I think of Roki, her infectious smile, glowing energy, and caring nature flood my mind with beautiful memories.

Roki Apa, you will be missed, but your legacy of empowering women economically will live on.
