There's something magical about the way certain stories capture the essence of modern Morocco - where tradition meets innovation, and determination creates opportunity. Today, I want to share the inspiring story of Nour El Houda, a 28-year-old entrepreneur from Agadir who's redefining what's possible for young women in business.
