I absolutely loved my experience with Ruh! I was initially really nervous and felt that I wasn't the best fit for the role as I come from a healthcare/STEM background, but Omar and Humeyra were extremely supportive and created a safe space for me to grow and learn. I've learned so much about sponsorship and the behind-the-scenes work that goes into running a startup. I'm so excited to watch Ruh grow inshaallah and will definitely keep in touch.
