There was no rush, no race — just rhythm. A rhythm shaped by purpose, mutual support, and dignity. This wasn’t just a market. It was a living portrait of empowerment.No race with men. No loud declarations. Just a simple, powerful presence.

What struck me most wasn’t just their hard work— it was the way they worked.If a woman finished selling early, she didn’t just pack up & leave. Instead, she helped another finish her sales quickly too — so they could sit together, laugh, and share light gossip.Competition gave way to collaboration.
